Then adhere both to yellow check about 1/2” up from bottom.

Adhere die cut shape to center of card front left to right.
Using foam mounting tape stick the Flamingos to the center of raspberry die cut shape.


Stamp Flamingos using Onxy Black ink on 2 ¾ x 3 ¼ white.
I colored the image using colored pencils. I have been using Crayola 50 count color pencils. Lots of color choices. Whatever you have is fine. I like to color first because then you have more to hold on to when cutting.
Cut around Flamingos using your scissors. Leaving a 1/16  white edge( look at photo).
Tie pink bow at the top of card.
Tie yellow ribbon in knot on bow.
Tie gold curly ribbon in knot on bow.
Add stickles to hibiscus flower, lei, glasses.


Happy card making!!!
