Inky Paws Challenge #26 - Color Challenge

hi again!
hope everyone has had a great week!
today is the start of a new Inky Paws Challenge! woo-hoo!!

i created a watercolor look on the vellum! eeek!! it's my new favorite thing to do! i'm going to do it all the time, i think! ha! (note: i did NOT come up with this myself, i saw THIS VIDEO and fell in love!)

ok, so i after i did that warm pinky-watercolor-y background on the vellum, i stamped the CUTE CUTE CUTE flamingos from the newly release Festive Flamingos stamp set onto the base of the card (behind the vellum!

then i stamped the combined sentiment from Festive Flamingos and Years of Cheers! i just LOVE how it's a non-traditional Christmas card! the colors are Christmas with a twist! ha! 

finally, i added some teal and mint washi to the top and black splatters on the vellum! love!!!!

i hope you have time to play along with the Inky Paws Challenge! 
enjoy!
