I have just had so much fun with the new stamps, and hope you will too!!


The Flamingo Bay stamp set is just perfect for those summer projects.  I choose to make a easel card, this way I could enjoy it all summer long.  I used the new Crackle Background stamp with White EP, don't you just love the look!!



The image was stamped twice, and color with copic makers.  Die cut the image with Spellbinder's Circle die and  die cut a Fancy Circle for a pretty frame around the image.  With the second image I only cut out the small 2 flamingos, the larger lily pad and the butterflies.  Place cut out images on top of the frame using pop dots, place the butterflies randomly on the card.  I used liquid glass on the water and Twinkling Clouds on the cloud, this really gave the clouds a pretty "Sparkle".


Left side of the card, BubblegumSparkling Snow and Green Iris glitters was used for the beautiful sparkle on the images!!



Right side of the card, around the sun I placed Evening Glow glitter.  For the frame I used Brushable Glue and Sparkling Snow for the pretty sparkle around my image.



On the lily pads Sparkling Snow was used for the sparkle!!


For the strip on the bottom of the card I stamped the image with versamark and embossed using White Spark EP.


A look at the card from the side.


Here is a sneak peek of a layout to come using the Diamond Stamp Set!

I really had fun creating this card, hope you have enjoyed it!!  If you would like more details on how I created this card please visit my Sparkle N Sprinkle Gallery.

Good luck to you all, please be sure to visit the other wonderful, talented Designer's to see what beautiful project they have created!!

Your use of the crackle background image is quite striking in contrast to the "still waters" we think happen in the flamingo-environment! LOL perfect ripple look!
