ok, let's get onto my card!
I used the sweetest little holiday flamingos from Paperie Ink!

so cute!
I used the images from Fla La La Mingo and colored them all in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. then I fussy cut them out!

for the background, I used the Retro Sun and Palms Stencil with Distress Oxide Inks in Twisted Citron and Lucky Clover on top of some Fog Cardstock. once that was dry, I used the Snowfall Stencil and some white embossing paste to add texture!

I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto black cardstock, and then popped it up with foam tape!
