A Flamboyance of Flamingos - 4

September and October are filled with female birthdays, so what better time than now
for me to revisit the Flockstar digital stamp set from the Beccy's Place Store and
make a FLAMBOYANCE of FLAMINGOS.

I just love the vibrant pinks, quirky expression and fun sentiment.

Five more new "same-but-different" Kenneth the Flamingo cards are now filled with
birthday wishes, neatly tucked into their envelopes, along with a bundle of love.

My 6" square card uses the fun Flockstar digital stamp set from the Beccy's Place Store.  I combined the mirrored "Kenneth" pre-coloured digital stamp with the "Love Cake" digital sentiment from the same digital stamp set on a 5" square panel, printed, matted with a 1/16" black panel, matted with a 1/16" bright pink panel, matted with another 1/16" black panel, added the panel to a 6" square top folding card base.  I printed, trimmed and matted the sentiment panel to match the card front then adhered in place.  I finished off the card with a trio of layered flowers created using assorted punches and a pop of black bling rhinestones.

A sweet narcissus bouquet

Spring is here and the gardens are filled with pretty bursts of colour from bulbs in the garden.  Although they're white, the abundance of Paperwhite (Narcissus) flowers are such an elegant delight.  Mum's garden is filled with clusters dotted in the garden beds.


So with inspiration from Mum's garden, my cards use the beautiful
"Narcissus" digital stamp set from the Beccy's Place Store.
I combined the "Narcissus" pre-coloured digital stamp with the
"Enjoy The Little Things" digital sentiment from the same digital stamp set.

This is an older stamp set and, sadly, it is now retired from the Beccy's Place Store.
=> I highly recommend that you become a follower of the Beccy's Place Blog
... apart from being inspired while seeing Beccy's stamps in action,
Beccy shares fabulous techniques and tutorials, introduces new releases,
and occasionally gives access to retired images
... one day the Narcissus digital stamp set may become
available for sale as part of Beccy's "Throwback Thursday" events,
where retired stamps are made available for 48 hours.

I opened the "Narcissus" pre-coloured digital stamp in Silhouette Studio and sized the image to fit neatly on the front of a top folding 5 1/2" square card.  I added the "Enjoy The Little Things" digital sentiment from the same digital stamp set.
I printed the image-sentiment panel on smooth white 300gsm Letter sized cardstock, scored at 5 1/2", folded, burnished the fold, then trimmed off the excess cardstock to finish the card.

   

Of course, it is always hard to stop at just one, so I made a set of three cards.
