I was selected by Stampin' Up! to make 20 card samples in total using the five new colours for the demonstrator only OnStage event held in Sydney on 16 April and my brief was to highlight the new colour. Below are the four Flirty Flamingo coloured cards that I created for #OnStage2016.
Colour #5 Flirty Flamingo
Flirty Flamingo is a bright, vibrant pink which works well with many of the other Stampin' Up! colours such as Watermelon Wonder and Pear Pizzazz.
Who can resist these cute little ladybirds from the Lots of Love stamp set. This card features Flirty Flamingo card stock and 2016-18 In-Color DSP stack along with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Watermelon Wonder, Whisper White and Silver glimmer card stock. I dry embossed the large Flirty Flamingo card stock banner with the Happy Hearts TIEF layered it over the Watermelon Wonder banner. I then added the smaller banners and circles with the ladybirds over the larger vertical banners. Some Silver 1/8" ribbon and Silver sequins completed the card.
This card features Flirty Flamingo card stock, classic ink and ruched ribbon. I've also used the Grateful Bunch stamp set and co-ordinating Blossom Bunch punch for the flowers and lace border. The Grateful Bunch stamp is a Photopolymer set which makes it easy to stamp a straight lace border. I stamped several of the flowers, layered them for extra dimension and added a Rhinestone for a bit of bling. The sentiment is from the Wetlands stamp set and was stamped using Tuxedo Black ink.
This card features Flirty Flamingo card stock, 2016-18 In-Color DSP stack, classic ink and ruched ribbon along with the new Gift of Love hostess set. If you want a quick and easy card, you can't go wrong with this two step stamp set. I stamped the flower in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and using the outline stamp and then stamped the blossoms in Flirty Flamingo and leaves in Pear Pizzazz. I diecut the flower using the now retiring Oval framelits (to be replaced with the new Layering Oval framelits) and layered it onto the larger Pear Pizzazz card stock oval. The sentiment is also from the Gift of Love stamp set, was diecut using the Tags & Labels framelits and then layered onto a Flirty Flamingo banner with a couple of small pearls added at the side.
My last card features Flirty Flamingo card stock, ruched ribbon and classic ink along with the Party Popup thinlets and Confetti TIEF. I embossed Whisper White cardstock using the Confetti TIEF and brayered it with Flirty Flamingo ink to highlight the pattern. I then diecut the 'Happy Birthday' Party Popup thinlet in Whisper White and the base in Gold Foil. I sponged the Happy Birthday sentiment with Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach and Crushed Curry so it blended in with the rest of the card. Some gold stars from the other 'Hip Hip Hooray' Party Popup thinlet were diecut and scattered around the card. A ruched ribbon bow completes the card.
