Flamingo fun




So, I usually google photos of an animal before I color it.  Glad I did with this flamingo -- I was surprised to learned they are darker on the belly and the back/wings area is often whitish.
This is just a fun little bird-day card  featuring a flamingo image from I Heart Stamps. You'll note it is a very fashion-conscious flamingo wearing a stylish polka-dot scarf (thanks to the fine point end of a brush-tip marker). The sequins make it quite festive, eh?

This card is for these challenges:
I Heart Stamps Sketch 160
Simon Says Stamp Monday -- celebrate
Double D Challenge -- I love Polka Dots
Little Tangles #71 -- sequins
Word Art Wednesday -- Anything Goes
Craftyhazelnut's patterned paper Challenge -- use Patterned paper

  4. Very cool and yes, very stylish! I was always confused as to why 'flamingo pink' was so orangey. Um... because flamingoes are. Well, then.
