For our latest Tic Tac Toe Challenge #163 created by Design Team member Silke, I tried out my new, long awaited Gladys die set!!! I've wanted her forEVER and finally decided to make the purchase!! I looked it up and learned that flamingos are wading birds, so I made believe that Gladys and her little ones are walking/wading on the winding shore. From our board I decided to use the first column: Sun, Birds, Thank You. I am also entering my card in some other challenges below where Gladys fits the theme/inspiration this week!
I searched for a tutorial and used this 5" x 7" size card by Sam Calcott of Mixed Up Craft here and then got busy decorating the card base. I added a little ink blended shading along the edges of the flamingos. The only "tricky" thing I did was use washi tape to extend the run's rays longer/higher for stenciling in order to fit the card panel.
Products I used:
Sizzix/ Tim Holtz: Gladys die set
Poppy Stamps: Whittle Flamingo die set
Simon Says Stamp: Drifting Stitches Borders (stitched waves)
Stampin' Up!: Beach Happy Stamp Set (Sentiment)
My Favorite Things: Beach Cutie (sentiment)
Tim Holtz: Sun stencil
Distress Oxide Inks
Blending Brushes
I also decided to enter it at Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies here, Time Out Challenges #214 Word Prompt: Sunshine, as well as the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge here.
We hope you will join us this week with this very original, fun board!
