Years ago I changed a fun Meerkat stamped image by adding clothing to the Meerkats. Heres a link to The Gangs All Meer post. Some 6 years later I had the same thought to 'alter' or should I say 'dress' these Flamingos or Flingos as our daughter used to call them when she was little.
I started with a Stampin' Up! journalling pen to add skirts, tops and necklaces ant then coloured them in with Stampin' Blends. I added the feathers using a stamp set that was recently gifted to all demonstrators that registered for a demonstrator only event happening in August. One of the stamps just said feathers to me and so I stamped it and added some lines to give the feather effect and when the ink was fully dry I used one of our new gel pens to add a little more obvious detail. I also redid the initial add on outlines with the journalling pen.
The feathers I used that all purpose die called scissors, (LOL!! my favourite die), to fussy cut them out. To fit them around the head of each individual 'flingo' I stamped the top of the head onto the bottom of the feathers and cut the line i stamped so that it wrapped over the top of each bird. They are all different so you'll need to do it for each one.
The stamp set called Your Birthday Song was released today as one of our new batch of online exclusive products. You can see them all on the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES page. Click on newest to find them.
I then shared with a friend who suggested putting feathers on them as skirts so I created this additional card. Which one is your favourite?
Something else that is new is that you can join Stampin' Up! and receive access to demonstrator only events, craft with others and join our team. You can find out more about how to Join Stampin' Up!.
Happy stamping
