A Friendly Flamingo for Monday Montage

Hello stampin' friends and let me just say "it's fantastic to have you following along our Monday Montage Bog Hop."  I'm sharing a fancy folded Friendly Flamingos card which I designed to perfectly fit the Stitched Nesting Dies (retiring).

I had my eye on the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper to combine with the flamingo stamps and dies.  I thought the non floral patterns and colors of this paper felt very Miami and Golden Girls, which was just what I wanted to help inspire some unique cards.  This card here is one of a series that I created for my April Technique Time! Stamp Class.

The card base is made up of three pieces of Flirty Flamingo Cardstock.  One measures 11" x 5 1/2" and the other two pieces are 2 1/8" x 5 1/2".

To tie the card closed I used the Blushing Bride 3/8" Metallic Ribbon.  I included a small Stitched Nesting Die on the back as a "ribbon carrier" and then carefully adhered the from Stitched Nesting Label so the ribbon would slip through when the card is fully open.

Here's a look at the inside and how the fancy folds frame the largest of all the Stitched Nesting Dies.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out what I have been stamping lately.  Enjoy hopping with us all.
