This one is for Amaranthine and her color choice was Bright Orange and Hot Pink (a personal favorite of mine). Inspired by my success with the teal fabric ATC, I tried again here. My thoughts ran to this lonely flamingo button languishing in my stash and sunsets.
I dug through the fabric stash and fussy cut from a remnant. I gave it a wash with some gold Smooch for a little sparkle then added some more defining gold swirls to give the sky some life. At first I wanted some orange sand to build a beach but wasn't able to get to the craft store and was on a roll. So I rummaged through my extensive collection of orange beads after the kids went to bed and think these disks were an even better solution. Add a fleece sun and finish with a bead embellished blanket stitch and BAM! One of my all time favorite ATCs.

Very, very nice! I love the fabric, and the suggestion of a beach with the beads is cool! The beaded blanket stitch idea is definitely going in my "copy it" idea folder!
Congratulations Jen!!! Ok, I only have a couple fabric ATC's and yours blows them away. I see a problem though - my sister collects flamingo's and she is gonna WANT this! I love it Jen - supurb work!!!
