This was made for my DTGD challenge & we'd love for you to join in so for all the details go to the Dare to Get Dirty Forum ..but you'll need to be a Fan Club member. It's sooooo easy & helps support this great community!
While I can't give you the challenge details here I can share how I made this card. These flamingos are so pretty & they begged to come home & live w/ me. I love birds so how could I refuse? I put them into my Misti, stamped them Memento, colored w/ Copics , added a few white highlights w/ a Prismacolor pencil, then over stamped w/ Versafine. After die cutting w/ the matching dies (well...they were a set!), I stamped, colored & fussy cut a bunch of hibiscus to add at their feet.
For the window scene, I die cut the octagon in white layer, added a slightly smaller black octagon frame then sponged the scene onto the white octagon I cut out. I used Prismacolor pencils to add the sunlight on the water & the surf at the water's edge. The stamped, die cut palm tree (part of the flamingo set) was added & the greeting stamped between the flamingos. The little stitched black strip on the card front had to be added because I did what I do when I get in a hurry, & I scored the card front in the wrong place. So..I had to have something to cover the weird score line. ;)
Thanks so much for looking! Closeups & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Julie, I would know your design work anywhere without ever needing to see your name. This is so much fun and so pretty at the same time. There are so many interesting elements. But my favorite thing is the sunglasses on the flamingo. LOL!
