Proud Flamingos

Hey Crafty People!

Today’s project brings a bold, fun splash of colour in celebration of the Bisexual Pride flag. I used a mix of vibrant pink, purple, and blue hues to echo the flag’s colours, blending a few of my favourite techniques—ink blending, heat embossing, and alcohol marker colouring. Let’s get started on these adorably proud Flamingos

Bi & Proud!

  1. Create the Sentiment:
    Start by heat embossing WOW! Superior Smooth cardstock using Grapefruit Fizzos embossing powder.
    • Die cut this with the You’re So Sweet word die from Heffy Doodle.
    • Back it with a second foam die cut for dimension, and mount the whole piece onto a white shadow layer cut from Neenah 80lb cardstock. Set it aside.
  2. Stamp & Colour the Flockstars:
    • Stamp flamingos and other elements from the Flockstars set using Versafine Onyx Black, then heat emboss with Clear Gloss powder.
    • Keep your Copic colouring to a limited palette inspired by the Bi flag (pinks, purples, and cool blues).
    • Die cut all your images, and don’t forget to emboss your sub-sentiment too—trim it into a small white-framed rectangle.
  3. Stencil Background:
    • Take a Cornflower blue cardstock panel (A2 sized), and ink blend the Bits & Bytes stencil using a darker blue like Drive In.
    • Once stencilling is done, go back in with that same ink and deepen the edges of the panel to add contrast.
  4. Assemble Your Card:
    • Once everything’s dry, arrange and adhere your images and sentiments using a mix of liquid glue and foam adhesive for layering and movement.
  5. Final Touches:
    • Embellish with white adhesive dots that have been coloured with a light pink Copic marker to tie in with the flamingo tones.

Proud Flamingos!

This card is colourful, dimensional, and full of personality—just like the community it celebrates! ????

As part of my Design Team and Guest Design work I do often receive free products to use, but I only ever recommend products that I genuinely love.

Also, I know how incredibly lucky I am to have these opportunities, but you don’t always NEED the newest products or the ‘full set’.
