BBTB2 Life is a Beach Flamingo Cut Challenge

Wow, it's been awhile since I designed for the BBTB2 challenges, so I'm pleased as punch to have this card to show you today! The challenge this week is to use the flamingo cut from the Life is a Beach cartridge.  But there is a CATCH.  You must use any color for your flamingo EXCEPT... PINK!  gasp! LOL.  I can't wait until you see all the fun flamingo colors that are sprouting up over at BBTB2 by our Design Team!

So... as soon as you take a gander at my lemon yellow flamingo, flock on over to BBTB2 and join in this challenge "with a catch" too.



Supplies Used:
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink
Patterned Paper: Making Memories
Ink: Archival (Coffee) and Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Old Paper)
Stamp: Hero Arts
Twine: Purchased at Walmart
Buttons: Basic Grey

    Oh, this is so pretty!! That paper is so soft and gorgeous. I think I have it somewhere in a box. I must go dig it out. I love how you put the trim under the scallops, too. What a nice touch.
