Flamingo birthday card - Hero Arts 2022 JulMthKit Flamingo

 I need to practice color layering more to get better at it. I die cut the flamingo image and used the negative to line up the pieces; although not entirely successful at lining up all. Photographed with a plush Flamingo so you'll look more at the cute plush and look at card without seeing all the mistakes & look back at plush.

Supplies

CTMH: ink - Black

Hero Arts: 2022 July Kit - Flamingo theme

  incl inks (Azalea, Cotton Candy, Peony), stamp/die

marker: Copic

other: flowers
