Welcome to the final day of our hop.  Today we are featuring the new set called Flamingos On Vacation and I decided to try something that was brewing in my mind for it.  I pulled out a Stampendous shirt card from my stash I've had for over 8 years and stamped the larger flamingos in memento tuxedo black before coloring them with prismacolor markers.  Then I added the palm trees in memento black, colored and added the ribbon in Adirondack sailboat blue ink across the top and along the front "opening" of the shirt.  My final touches on the outside were to stipple Adirondack lettuce ink around the edges of my shirt and the collar; then small white prima flowers with gold ice stickle centers.  Once I was done adding the ice stickles to the prima centers, I suddenly decided to add them also to the flamingo's body designs.

The inside of my shirt has both of my sayings and two more palm trees to tie everything in.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day.  I hope you enjoyed this week's blog hop and received lots of inspiration.  Don't forget to stop by all of the designers blogs to leave some love for a chance to win today's featured set.

    Like the Flamingo shirt card. I'd like to cut a card this shape since I like shaped cards. Thanks for the fun inspiration. I'm going to search my Cricut cartridges perhaps Everyday Paper Dolls and using a shirt image I can use my Gypsy to weld for shaped card. Did you know that a Flamingo gets its pink color from the food it eats.
