Flamingos with Ombre Paint Swoosh

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!
