How cute is this flamingo! I love this set, Flamingos on Vacation, and all you can do with it. It has some great sentiments and images. Isn't she stylin' in this  outfit? Of course, I thought she could use some ruffles. She also needed some blue gemstones and a pretty flower, too.

Today is the final day of the blog hop. Good luck to all!!!

Today's card is using the awesome stamp set, Scenic Selections. If you like making scenes for your cards, scrapbooks, etc., you'll love this set. I used four of the images from the set to make my card..trees, fence, grass along the fence, and taller grasses in the pasture.  The sentiment is from the Get Reel set featured yesterday. I stamped and stamped off part of the trees. Colored images with Copics

Paper: MFP 100 lb. premium white cs, dp is Hazel Plaid from Glitz Design

Gold brads

Hand cut the banner

Ink: Memento Bahama Blue for sponging sky, and Rich Cocoa

I made an extra card for the hop, going clean and simple. I thought the scene was good for a sympathy card. From the Scenic Selections set, I used a tree, fence, boulder, and grasses. The sentiment is from the Oopsy Daisy set featured on Tuesday.
I think my plaid border and mat look black in this photo but it is brown.

I love this stamp set called GET REEL. It is super for those masculine cards we need to make. I stamped my silhouette image and then sponged for water and sunrise. You know those fishermen love to get up early and out on the water. It makes an awesome card for Father's Day, birthday,  or just a general card...love that it has a father and son or grandson or maybe just a pal.

For my card, I using two stamp sets being released this week. For the daisies and sentiment, I used the Oopsy Daisy set and for the butterflies, I used a set we'll be featuring later this week, Scenic Selections. What a great set that you can use for so many things.

Recipe:
Paper-MFP 100 lb. premium cover white cardstock
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black and Cantaloupe (for sponging around image)
Accessories: Copics, ColorBox Victorian Parlour die cut accents (doily) adhesive sticker

I also wanted to make an altered clipboard with the Oopsy Daisy set. I picked up my clipboard at Office Depot and covered the background with a Tim Holtz Alterations bricked embossing folder. The punched border at the top is made with a Martha Stewart Laurel Leaf punch.

I stamped my image  10 times for a 3D effect, colored, cut out, and popped them on. The centers are buttons. I'm using a leaf and ladybug from the same set. It is so adorable.

Added a ribbon from Offray and the initials are chipboard that I colored with Copics.
