Dia daoibh!
It’s time for Challenge #99 (Anything goes) at Ally’s Angels - and while we’re knee-deep in soggy weather in Ireland, the folks in the southern hemisphere are swanning about in their shorts and sunnies. Honestly, I think the flamingo on my card is plotting a one-way flight to Melbourne.
So, onto the card!
I used Spellbinders Grand Flamingos die set, cut from gorgeous Tonic Studios cardstock. A splash of glossy accents and glitter, a sprinkle of caribbean blue nuvo glitter drops, and a dash of sparkly gems — because no flamingo worth its feathers leaves the house without bling.
I left off a sentiment so this card can sashay into any occasion: birthdays, celebrations, or even “sorry I nicked your paddling pool while pretending it was a lagoon.”
Onto a few challenges:
- Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday - Anything Goes
- The Paper Funday #80 - Anything Goes/Optional of Cute or Creepy
- A Perfect Time To Craft - Anything Goes
- A Cut Above - Die Cut Challenge Blog - Anything Goes
- Dream Valley Challenges #346 - Add pearls or gems or both
And let’s be honest — flamingos are meant to stand on one leg, but mine’s clearly knackered and leaning on the flowers for support. Diva behaviour at its finest!
What a lovely fresh and clean card. You have brought a touch of spring into my very dull grey day. Thank you xx

Beautiful Wendy! The flamingo is a really elegant die and you've add such great details including her crown. Love the flower and foliage surrounding her. That blended background is amazing. Thanks for sharing with us at A Cut Above's October Challenge.
