Do you like my Hawaiian shirt? Card

Created this whimsy card using Mark's Finest Papers Flamingos On Vacation stamps. Stamped the Flamingo on the card and the clothing part onto another piece of cardstock. Paper pieced the other piece of cardstock cutting with scissors and popping onto the base with foam adhesive. Used markers & pencil colors to color parts of the Flamingo. Used a memory box Palm Tree die. Tore by hand the brown cardstock for sand texture look. Used Martha Stewart punches for the Sun.
