Pop of Paradise Flamingo

This card using Pop of Paradise, was for an organized swap.  I started out with the new flamingo Stamp set, Fabulous Flamingo, but decided I did not want to be that artsy.  I wanted a simple card that was easy to duplicate because I had to make a lot.  Plus,  I wanted a modern clean look.  The flamingo from Pop of Paradise was perfect for creating a modern, simple card.  To bring in some trendy elements, I used the Balloon Celebration.  I had seen a card on Pinterest where someone used pieces from this set to create lemons and cantaloupes.  I didn’t get that specific with the shapes from this set, but I thought the shapes definitely looked tropical.

For colors, I used the In Colors of Flirty Flamingo and Lemon Lime Twist.  I loved how they work together. I need a vibrant pink for the flamingo and the Flirty Flamingo was certainly the color.  The background stamp is from Work of Art.  It was a simple way of getting a watercolor look without the time it takes to watercolor!  I could simply stamp and move on to the next card. Some 3/8″ Flirty Flamingo Striped Grosgrain Ribbon and Basic Rhinestones were the finishing touches.
