Another fun birthday card. I love flamingos and how they can stand on one leg like that. All the zoos are closed right now with the 'stay at home' order but I did see a virtual tour of one the other day. The flamingos looked so happy without everyone glaring at them.
I used a stamp set from
Newton's Nook for my card today. I stenciled a little with some oxide inks in the background, colored the flamingo, and then popped him up.......added the sentiment and it was a done deal.
I'll enter this in the
Inky Paws Challenge at
Newton's Nook. (Color Challenge)
Thanks for stopping by......
