Hello, everyone! Today I'm sharing another ombre card for the
Newton's Nook Inky Paws Challenge! I've been seeing so many flamingo cards in blogland and then I remembered my
Newton's Nook Flirty Flamingos stamps! This was my very first Newton's Nook stamp set, which I won about 2 years ago! I coloured the flamingos with watercolour markers (Pink, Light Carmine, and Light Pink) and fussy-cut so I could pop them up with foam tape.
For the background I stamped a Gina Marie Designs Paint Swoosh in three shades of blue (Memento Summer Sky, Bahama Blue, and Danube Blue). The anniversary sentiment is from Hero Arts Everyday Sentiments,which I stamped in Memento Nautical Blue to continue the ombre theme. The panel is die-cut with Avery Elle Wonky Stitches and mounted on a piece of fun foam for some dimension. I finished off the card with some coordinating sequins from my stash.
I'm also joining Day 2 of
Kathy Racoosin's 30-day Colouring Challenge!
