Sunny Studios Best Fishes and Fabulous Flamingo Slim Card

I am so excited because it's my hubby's birthday soon and I wanted to make an extra special card for him. I made a sunrise card to try a new technique for me.

The dimensions of the finished card is 8 1/2 in by 4 1/4 in. I cut a piece of Pixie cardstock 8 1/2 in.  by 8 1/2 in. I scored the cardstock at 4 1/4 in. It will mail in a legal size envelope.

Sunny Studios Fabulous Flamingos Paper Pieced Card

I love this stamp set because it is so Floridian. The card does not show that I paper pieced the head and wing. I also used CTMH Clear Shimmer Brush on the water. I got the idea of the shallow water technique after seeing this video by Sandy Allnock:

Sunny Studios Hawaiian Hibiscus Card

I have always wanted to try layering stamps. It took a couple of tries before I figured how to make the flowers. The trick is to start with the lightest colors first and the dark shade last. I grew up in southern Florida and as a kid I wore the hibiscus flower behind my ear and did the hula. The card does not show the clear shimmer on the flowers and leaves which really adds to the card.


To make this card I used:

Stamps: Sunny Studios Hawaiian Hibiscus

Paper: CTMH Whisper White, Raspberry and Smoothie Cardstock, CTMH No Worries and Seaside Papers

Ink: Lemonade, Goldrush, Paprika, Smoothie, Candy Apple, Ruby, Ballerina, Pixie Exclusive Ink

Accessories: Stamps of Life Stitched Rectangle, Sizzix Tim Holtz Celebrate Phrase Thinlets, Versamark Embossing Ink, CTMH Clear Shimmer Brush and Scotch 1/2 in. Double Sided Foam Tape
