Let's Flamingle!

My post is live on the Papermaze Blog today, featuring the Papermaze kit for the month of August. Full of tropical papers, card and embellishments. For my first post I decided to make a double page layout to feature a flamingo themed BBQ my daughter and her husband held. This was when the lockdown rules started to change in August 2020, and we could meet outside in groups of six.

 

For this layout I used a sketch by Allison Davis, for Scrapbook & Cards Today Papercraft Magazine. It is Allison's #4 sketch in the 2023 Summer collection.

From the kit I used:
Prima Marketing Inc. - Postcards from Paradise collection - Floral Paradise & Tropical Vibes
Bazzill Basics -  Pastel Blue, Watermelon Sensation, & Pinkini
enamel flamingo charm
Pinkfresh Studio Jewel Essentials

From my stash I used:
White Bazzill and mixed scraps of Bazzill
Gold metallic thread
Baker's twine
Tim Holtz Modern Floristry Thinlits Sizzix die set
Tim's Gladys Sizzix Thinlits die set
Distress Inks
3D foam pads
fluffy lime green feathers
Simply Charming puffy alpha stickers from Rosie's Studio
Lindsay glitter Thickers.
 

That's all for today, back with more another day.
Thanks for looking.
