Tropical Fun!

Hello friends~  Today's card is full of tropical fun!
 
  
I have a dear friend who loves pink flamingos and she just celebrated her birthday at the beginning of this month.  
 
Every year I make her a pink flamingo card.  Sometimes it's a challenge to come up with fresh new designs for her, but this card ended up turning out super cute. 
 
I used Marianne Designs Pink Flamingo Floatie paired with this leafy Sylvan Frame by Poppystamps.  I made it into an easel card for something slightly different.  I'm so glad to say she loved it.

I'll be entering this card into the following challenges:
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes
Four Seasons ~ Summer Challenge
 
AAA Cards ~ Summer Activity
 
 
Hope you're enjoying some beautiful weather in your neighborhood.  It's been gorgeous here on the east coast.  Summer if fleeting by way too quickly.

Thanks for stopping by!

I have no doubt she loved it, and I'm sure she looks forward to her flamingo card every year. I think it's fun for both of you! This is super cute, and you've used one of my favorite older dies for a frame!

Oh so FUN! Loving the greens and blues and that awesome pink flamingo floaty! Love that it is an easel card too, extra fun! Oh so long ago, when I turned 50, my sister and sister in law were in cahoots and sprinkled my lawn with 50, 3 foot tall wood flamingos, all decked out in various garb lol Even crazier the family had to get me out of the house on Christmas Eve for a few hours so we could return in the dark and I wouldn't see them til the morning. Too funny! Thanks for the memories! :)

Such a fun card Birgit! I love how bright and cheery it is, and I know your friend will love that too. It's so nice that you make her a flamingo card each year. And I love the inside. Such a nice layout for that easel fold. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Word Art Wednesday! We love seeing what you've made! :)

The floatie would be perfect here right now, it is so hot, a nice play in the pool sure does sound good, I bet she loved it :)

Your card is so beautiful. Apologies for being MIA, unpacking boxes after moving house has been a huge chore xx
