Deck the Halls with Inky Paws Blog Hop with Newton’s Nook

Hi friends! I’m so excited to join in the fun for the 9th annual Deck the Halls with Inky Paws blog hop!!

As the temperatures here in Ohio continue to fall, it has me missing warm weather and the beach so I decided to pull out my Festive Flamingo set for this card:

I started by creating a background using the Retro Sun & Palms stencil set. Instead of using the sun portion of the stencil in the traditional way, I tilted it and ink blended over it twice for a fun look. And since I was already going non-traditional, I decided to use glitter gel for the palm trees!

Since my background was already pink, I didn’t even need to color in the flamingos. I just used Copic markers to add red on all of their accessories. I finished with a sentiment along the bottom.

This card would be easy to make assembly line style and since the coloring is limited would be a little quicker.
