Flamingo Tag Birthday Card

 Coffee/Tea of the Day - Caramel Vanilla coffee

Hello! I hope all of you are doing well.

Today's post is a two-fer. I'm sharing a tag created for a challenge, but then I took the tag and used it on a card. 

as you can tell from recent posts, I use quite a few images and kits from Gecko Galz. not only do they give away SO many freebies, but I've been blessed to win quite a few from their store. several of the Design Team members are also on another team, Conjurer of Dreams. so I checked out that blog to see what it's all about.

I was interested in the image that they provided for their monthly tag challenge. my mother-in-law loves flamingos, and her birthday is this summer. so I thought I would use the tag to make a birthday card for her.

everything is fairly simple. papers are from Glitz Designs on Snap Click Supply. (btw, you simply MUST visit this store! you'll find digital collections from many popular paper companies. every Wednesday they have a dollar sale. usually about 2 dozen items for only a dollar each.)

mulberry flowers are old Prima, the ephemera pieces are Tim Holtz, ribbon is from Zipper Stop, and the sentiment is by Simon Says Stamp. a bit of doily peaks from behind the tag. the tag and cards were edged with a Tim Holtz watercolor pencil in, of course!, Kitsch Flamingo. :)

Thanks so much for stopping by! in all the history of the world, there has only ever been one you. you matter!
