Today, I am using the FLAMINGO stamp.  

I stamped it three times, and colored it with Arteza real brush pens, then fussy-cut them.  I also stamped one of the flamingos on the FLAMINGOS BACKGROUND  stamp, and fussy-cut that.  

I created the background on watercolor paper using the Arteza brush pens with watercolor.  I layered the background piece onto a blue A2 card, then the craft panel, with a stitched die circle with foam tape.  I cut the legs from two of the flamingos, and added them to the background, along with the little one from the background stamp.  I added a full flamingo to the front of the card on the craft panel.  I stamped the HAPPY BIRD-DAY  stamp to the panel with Ranger archival ink.

That's it!  A fun twist on this delightful stamp.  Hope you are inspired to try something different with your stamps today.  

 Blessings,
