This card was made for the Teapot Tuesday challenge - to locate Ramon the Flamingo who has flown the coop. I also incorporated one of the early sketch challenges - working my way from the front on up.
The image was colored with copics, sponged and then matted on burgundy. The 2nd panel (I took a bit of license here - made a circle instead of another rectangle) was cut with CM circle cutting system and matted on circle of burgundy.
For the cross piece, I used SU border punch on both sides and matted up on dimensionals over the flamingo image with cream organdy ribbon. Over this I added the sentiment panel, also popped up on dimensionals.
The background is actually GinaK digital paper - I'm in love - don't know how much ink it took, but want to print out more.
Thanks for looking !

Ramon has the look of someone who has completed their life goal --- totally satisified and happy. Love your colors, I can see why you like the background. Very pretty with the bow and all!
