Today's two challenges were not easy to combine. Sabrina challenged us to use crowns on our cards for Coronation Day and it was Lola's turn in our Challenge Your Stash group. She challenged us to use either flamingos or elephants on our cards today. Fortunately, I have a ridiculous amount of stamps and thanks to my handy Evernote database, I was able to find a crown that fit perfectly onto this flamingo's head. Then I dug through my stash because that is the theme of today and found some fabulous paper to match, and some ribbon and washi tape because I have a ton and don't use either of them enough.

GREAT card with the patterned background working so well with your colored flamingo image and cute crown! Love the washi tape bands bound with the satin ribbon and tied off with a bow! GREAT card!!

Gorgeous card. I just love how the flamingo turned out. The feathers look so soft and real. Thank you so much for joining us for Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, Anything Goes! Good Luck.
