Karen is hosting the Color Challenge this week. Her choice of colors is Tahitian Tide, Parakeet Party and Blushing Bride. The dessert option is music.
The colors reminded me of this fun flamingo. It looks like she is ready for a luau and already stepping to the beat of the Hawaiian music. I stamped on watercolor paper and then watercolored in the challenge colors. To create the water look at the bottom, I first masked with a post it note. I bunched up some plastic wrap, tapped it on the ink pad and then pounced on the paper, first in Tahitian Tide, and then a little more in Parakeet Party. The musical sentiment is from a different set and was layered over a crimped scrap of cardstock. After the card was assembled, I applied Wink of Stella sparkle to the water, flowers, flamingo back, and all over the sentiment. So sparkly! Inside sentiment: Hope today tickles you pink. Have fun with the colors!

Diane, I am super-tickled by this image, but especially that the flamingo is wearing flip-flops! That is so funny! I love the way you created the water, love all the sparkle, love the cute sentiment inside!

Love the clever way that the sentiment ties into the dessert option and love the technique used to create the water. I also have to say that pretty Ms. Flamingo totally looks ready to party. Fun card, well done.
