Cool Flamingo



I have 3 vibrant energetic young kids.  I would like to think that when we are out and about I look like this flamingo all cool and calm and collected while my kids are flapping around me.  Ha ha I probably resemble one of the birds flapping around squawking.  I used Paper Smooches stamp set "My Peeps" to create this card today.  I stamped the flamingo on water color paper and painted her with twinkling H20 water colors, added black enamel accents to her eye then masked it to stamp the excited birds around her.  The patterned paper is from Echo Park "Everday Eclectic", washi tape is Queen's Eye and Doodlebug, I used Stampin' Up card-stock in Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla.  I'm entering this card in two challenges.  Papersmooches Sparks, http://papersmoochessparks.blogspot.com/  insprired the colors.     


The layout inspiration came from Seize the Birthday, http://seizethebirthday.blogspot.ca/. thanks for stopping by for a look,
Kelly
