Hello Friends and Happy Wednesday! Today begins a new challenge month at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog. Our themes are Always Anything Goes with an Optional Twist. The Twist this month is Grateful, Thankful, Thank You. We have 2 great sponsors also, Newton's Nook and Laurie Furnell Designs.
For my project this month, I've created a festive Holiday card in true Florida Style - Festive Flamingos from Newton's Nook. I couldn't find this set on their site, it may be retired, I'm not certain. I've had this set for a few holiday seasons now.
I've kept the design CAS and highlighted the Pink theme with a bit of ink blending using a circle mask from Lavinia Stamps. I've colored this pair using my Prismacolor Pencils.
I've added Wink of Stella to their Hats, a few enamel dots and black/white Baker's Twine. I like how the Baker's Twine and black mat breaks up the "pinkness" of the card.
Please join us at the challenge! We hope you'll be inspired by our designs, so until next time, Happy Crafting!

What a fun image and sentiment Donna... and perfect for a Floridian Christmas. I like the way you inked around the mask to create a space for the flamingos. The little enamel dots are a nice touch too!
