Hello Ups!ide Down and More Never Before Used Stuff

Hi there.  Did I make you smile??  Who wouldn't want to smile after seeing this cute flamingo.  It's from Gerda Steiner Designs and is called Upside Down Flamingo and is perfect for any type of card. The saying is from Hedgehog With Sign set.  Both are sets I haven't used.

I stamped the flamingo in memento black ink onto white card stock then colored using copic markers before stamping the saying in the upper right corner.  For the sand, I repeatedly stamped the fern from Stampin Up's retired Watercolor Minis in various brown dye inks. After adding a panel of Colorbok Light Bright designer paper, I added an embossed border then sponged the card edges with pink passion dye ink.  I then highlighted parts of the flamingo using a black Sakura glaze pen.  The only embellishments added were bright pink brads and pink circle clips.
