Hi Junkies (Chris Here! )
It seems like each summer an a new animal becomes trendy. We've done sloths, penguins, hedgehogs, and this year it seems to be the flamingo. Don't get me wrong, I love it. I love seeing all the new products and creations. It is like a celebration of that animal. As far as I'm concerned let's make it official. 🦩🦩🦩.
Technique Junkies is not to miss out on a trend and they have released some Flamazing Flamingo stamps of their own. I love the sentiment because it could be used for anything. It could be a birthday or just a general greeting on its down. It is so versatile and I think it will get a workout in my craft room this season.
To create the backgrounds I used Nuvo Pigment Powder. This powder is highly pigmented powder that reacts with water. There is a couple of ways you can use this powder, but my favorite is to sprinkle just a tiny (I stress tiny) bit of powder onto watercolor paper. Then spray the paper with water. You can move the paper around to move the pigment on the paper. It isn't an exact science... but I love that you can an organic background instead of a controlled piece. I used Spellbinders Flamingo die on the blue piece and the stamped the Flamingos on the pink. I love them both.
