My inspiration for this card comes from this photo from the National Geographic Art Store: http://national-geographic.cafepress...e=Wall%20Decal The Honolulu Zoo has a large flamingo population. Kaleo, with his lei, is a Hawaiian flamingo . I actually colored this guy with some hot pink Prismacolor pencils but against the yellow background, he looks rather orange like the one in the inspiration photo. The lei flowers were made with a set of Nellie Snellen 3-D flower punches---one punches & the other one embosses the flower to give it dimension.

Love this funky flamingo with the yellow flowered lei. So very cute!

Whoa..you are going like a house on fire with this challenge. Your flamingo is so cute and I love all the flowers she is wearing. Don't you love those punches??
Too much fun and just too cute!! I love flamingos. I have some flamingo stamps, but haven't had them out for a while. Maybe it's time to dust them off. Love the flowers around the neck! TFS Going to favs for sure!
