This week is PHOTO WEEK over at Just Us Girls, and our gal Maria has chosen this awesome photo for our inspiration.
Here's my Card:
I don't have any flamingos or pineapples, but I do have this Cricut image from the Art Nouveau cartridge. I really love this stylized egret, and I thought if I did it in pink it would kind of resemble a flamingo. Maybe if you squint you can see it....ha ha! I computer generated the greeting - easy peasy. The striped patterned paper mimics the striped cake which is sitting on the table in the background in the photo.
Here are the Ingredients:
Recollections Rose Petal 110# Card Stocks in Various Pinks
Recollections Blossoms and Bliss Patterned Papers
Cricut Art Nouveau Cartridge
M & C Stitched Scalloped Circle Die
SU Succulents Framelits Dies for Flower
Nuvo Crystal Drops
Stash Gold Thread
