Flamingo LOVE

It's time for a new challenge with us on the

As always, the challenge is Anything Goes.
Three to five random winners are drawn and
each get to choose 3 set of papers from the Paper Pick Tab

~~~*~~~*~~~

Today I have used the Hearts Again digital paper by Lozzy at A Bit More Time To Craft to make a special 50th Anniversary card.


As seems to be the norm lately, I started by opening the Hearts Again digital paper and Valentine Flamingo Pop Up Box card cut file in Silhouette Studio.  I enlarged the card elements to make a 5 7/8" square card.  I sized the digital paper for the matting panels, printed on white textured cardstock then manually cut.  I cut the card base and design elements from textured cardstock using my Silhouette Cameo.  I used the "50" and sentiment using a digital font (details below).  I used liquid adhesive to secure all the layers together to complete this fancy fold card then decided it needed a little "more", so dragged out a bundle of my favourite flower punches and started punching, curling and layering.  I added a sparkling black rhinestone to the centre of each flower then adhered them in place and my special anniversary card was done.





Here is the card extended out fully open and flat,
a grand 11 3/4" wide and 5 3/4" tall.


Here is the fancy fold in action.


I used assorted fonts to make a sentiment panel for the back of the card.


The card folds flat for mailing but my dimensional flowers added dimension,
so it was lucky that this card is to be hand delivered.


Digital papers like Hearts Again look amazing on textured cardstock.


I have another one from Hearts Again printed and ready
for some creative fun, the teal and pink look gorgeous.

People are my favourite because I MISS HUGS and I find them easier to colour, animals are also my favourite because they are cute, fun and, when I don't have to colour them, they make for cheery cards too.
