World's Fastest Flamingo

Mornin' y'all!  I know, another skipped Scrappy Monday.  I haven't worked on scrapbook pages in what feels like forever, I just haven't really been inspired to do it which is weird because I loooove scrapbooking.  Maybe soon.

So today's card comes with a story : )  Actual conversation at dinner last Friday:

Me (to hubs):  Adam (my brother) had surgery on his foot this week, I need to make him a card with a flamingo on it.
Ryan:  Why do you need to make a card with a flamingo on it?
Me:  Because they stand on one foot.
Ryan: ...Isn't that like you're making fun of him?
Me:  I'm his sister.  It's my job to make fun of him sometimes.

Ryan does not understand this concept because he's an only child.  But that's how I ended up with this card:


I have multiple flamingo stamps but I was looking for a large one standing on one foot, and Pop of Paradise delivered.  The greeting is from Inspired Thoughts; they're both retired and actually everything on this card is retired except the white and Azure Afternoon cardstock.  But it looks like we're getting Strawberry Slush back probably as an In Color in the next catalog so hurray for that : )

I'm entering this at As You See It:


I used the Taylored Tag punch for the sentiment and even though I had to stamp it three times because I kept getting it too heavy on the edges, I still finished this card in 6 minutes, 43 seconds.

That's it for now, peeps.  Daph is patiently waiting for me to eat breakfast so we can go tour the neighborhood and it looks like a beautiful day.  Cheers!

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Pop of Paradise, Inspired Thoughts
Ink:  Azure Afternoon, Strawberry Slush
Paper:  Azure Afternoon, Strawberry Slush, Thick Basic White, Strawberry Slush DSP
Accessories:  Layering Ovals dies, Taylored Tag punch, Glitter Sequins, Dimensionals

I love the Strawberry Slush against the Azure blue Christy - it gives a lovely pop of colour! Your post made me chuckle - sibling love/rivalry, it's one of a kind, for sure! Oh and Strawberry Slush is making a return? I did NOT know that - how exciting!! This is a great quick card - perfect for our challenge over at As You See It!
