Tropical Vibes Card

Today I have a fun tropical card to share with you!  I used the "Spread Your Wings" stamp set from Crafters Companion for this card.  This stamp set comes as a sheet of unmounted red rubber, which means you'll get super clean crisp lines!  What i did was cut out each stamp with a sharp fine tip scissor, when i was ready to stamp with it I placed the stamp (back side up) in a cardboard box and sprayed with Elmers spray adhesive, let it dry for a few minutes then stuck it onto my stamping platform.  Then stamped away!  I used my silhouette to die cut this out but you could easily fussy cut too.  The stencil I used was from Crafters Companion's new tropical release, this is the tropical hibiscus garden stencil, i used the spectrum noir harmony water reactive inks in spring meadow, grasshopper, and pine tree to get an ombre look.  These inks are great for blending! To color the flamingo I used the Spectrum Noir tri-blend alcohol marker in pale pink.  I added some Spectrum Noir crystal clear glitter ink as well.  I stamped and cut out the sentiment and embossed it too.  I matted my card on a pale pink piece of cardstock to finish off the look.
