Flamingo Hello!

This is my favorite card from our class yesterday.  When I saw this on Pinterest I had to have the supplies.  It was posted by Els de Haan on Splitcoaststampers.  de Haan sounds like a Dutch name to me, I'm half Dutch.  So no wonder it's beautiful!  :-) (a little tongue in check there). 

I'm also partial to flamingos, I loved all my trips to Florida and was actually planning to move there until I met my husband.  He passed away 8 years , we were only married 5 months. Love of my life. That's another story. 

Anyway,  love, love, love this card!  Thank you Els. It was so much fun to make.  I may have to make more, I don't know that I want to give this away or sell it. 

I sell my cards at a craft fair in December at King of Kings church in Woodbury, Minnesota.  Huge craft fair first Saturday in December, if you are in the area at that time stop in.  I'm sure you will find something that you will love. Again I have digressed.
