Flamingo sunset . . . Southern Girls style

It's time for another challenge with us at the Southern Girls.

This fortnight Team Lou have created projects to inspire you for the new challenge




Our generous sponsors for this challenge are:

Lacy Sunshine

*** EDITED 2019 ***
Lacy Sunshine Stamps is now Colour Of Love

~~~*~~~*~~~

Today I have used the Flamingo Sunset Tangled Gems Collection digital stamp by Lacy Sunshine, one of our generous sponsors this fortnight.



I printed the image on A5 X-Press It blending card, heat set then coloured with Copic markers.  I confess that I used a pre-scored card base, trimming the front stepper sections off an A5 stepper card.  I matted the image panel, trimming the black cardstock down to give a 1/16" border with my Perfect Layers ruler, then adhered it to the card front, along with the layered die cut sentiment.  I triple matted the inside of the card to match the front.
