For my card today I created another fun summer themed Christmas card. I used the Rabbit Hole Designs "Caffeinated Flamingo" to create a fun scene card. I decided to create another slimline card. I used a cloud stencil and a wave stencil I created in my Silhouette cameo machine using some cut files from the design store and some stencil material. I then used some distress oxide ink and a blender brush to create the scene with the stencils.
I stamped the flamingo image in memento tuxedo black ink and colored it with Spectrum Noir markers. I also stamped a palm tree from another stamp set from Lawn Fawn "Critters from the past". I colored that also with spectrum noir markers. To add Christmas lights onto the palm tree I used another Lawn Fawn stamp set Called "Cheery Christmas" and stamped those directly on the card panel once the tree had been adhered and added some color with the spectrum noir markers.
For the Santa hat on the flamingo at first I tried to cut out my own hat with card stock but it didn't look so good. So I went online and found a clip art of a Santa hat and printed it out in a small size that would fit on the flamingo's head. I then used the Marvey snow marker which is a puffy paint and when you add heat to it it puffs up giving it a texture and raised effect. To apply the heat I used the Marvey heat tool.
For the sentiments all were stamped in memento tuxedo black ink. For the first sentiment I used an older $1.50 wood mounted stamp from Michael's that says "There is no place like home for the holidays" I also used some Simon Says Stamp Clear embossing powder on this and used my heat tool to melt the embossing powder. I then stamped the two hashtag sentiments from the Caffeinated Flamingo stamp set #blahmingo and #flamingofuel. Added some foam dots to the first sentiment that was shaped like a home and popped that on the panel. Then once that was done I adhered the panel to the card base with the Advanced Tape glider.
