I started out by stamping the flamingo twice on scrap Copic card stock before adding the wood mounted palm trees next to it. After pulling out my Prismacolor and Copic markers, I then fussy cut parts of the flamingo to pop up later. I then lightly stippled Tim Holtz tumbled glass and stormy sky distress inks as my "ocean water" and sky/fog background. After popping up the flamingo neck and body, I dug out my bottle of Meraki Sparkle Green Illusion gems and added a few of those. The final touch was adding some "faux brads" in the corner by punching a small piece of scrap pink card stock and a small line of diamond ice stickles to highlight the water.
