Miss Monday Cards- Friendly Flamingo

Miss Monday Cards using the Friendly Flamingo stamp set from the Jan-June Mini Catalog. Here is a little fun fact about me...I love Flamingos! It all started a couple of years ago when that is all I asked for my birthday was some yard flamingos. Of course I had to name them. Then my friend sent me a wonderful tumbler she had made with flamingos on them. Just recently my family and I went to the San Diego Zoo and the Flamingos were every where and had babies (so I feel in love with them all over again). So I knew I had to get this stamp set and am so glad I did!

I used the die cuts for the Flamingo on the front and stamped him in the inside. 

I used white embossing powder for the Happy Birthday on a strip of Basic Black, which then ties in with the Flamingo underwing color.

I even add the little water ripples from where the Flamingo is standing. I did cheat slightly, and used the Retired Oh So Ombre Paper for the background but hope it gives you an idea on how to use your Sale-a-bration paper and know if you don't have it, you an create this look with some sponges and the Bermuda Bay Ink pad. 

You can make this card too by ordering the supplies from my online store and following the steps below.
