I did the faux silk technique for DrSonja's Falliday's challenge. I used Lawn Fawn's Guava ink to stamp the pattern on the tissue paper then adhered it to Guava CS to create the background panel. The flamingo is a multi step stamp - first layer = MFT Bubblegum ink, second layer = LF Guava, third layer = LF Lobster.
I completely forgot this card was going to Florida so it's purely coincidental that I used a flamingo. I just thought it would look good with the retro, South Beach looking background.
Join the festivities and get a jump start on your holiday crafting.

Love flamingos and love the wrinkles! The background really pops and the texture adds lots of zing! Thanks for participating in my challenge.

There's nothing like a flamingo to cheer up someone's day. I love how you put those patterns together without the flamingo getting lost, or the card looking too busy. Love it. TFS
