Flamingos on Vacation............says it all!  The sayings are just too funny that go along with this stamp set.   Wish I had video to show you this card because it wobbles!  It is so funny to see it!  It's blurry cause it's wobbling.  Inside it says:  Does my outfit make me look FAT?  If you checked out my blog here you can see more soot stamping with our Train Talk set well I'm still stamping in soot.  I thought it would be interesting to stamp the flamingos in soot. I will have a tutorial on soot stamping at Speedy TV soon.  Tutorial is up here at Speedy TV!
 I like the way this card came out.  Also made this a shape card using Spellbinders  dies.
Hope you had fun checking out all our blogs this month.  Remember to leave comment to be eligible for our drawing to win this stamp set.

I bet that wobble card is adorable in real life..and I love that 'fat' sentiment. Too funny.
Soot stamping...I'm looking forward to your tutorial. Your soot stamped card is really cool.

Is it on a spring to make it wobble? Very clever!

Yes, it is a spring that is between two pieces of light cardboard with peel n stick. I'll try to find a picture to put up on blog.

Great use of the wobble.

Lois said...

I can picture that wobbly flamingo -- because I bought some of those wobble-thingies at a stamp show. Great use of it. Your soot-stamping card is pretty cool. I'm always afraid of burning down the house!!!

Great cards, Sue!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Hugs and smiles

Like the whimsy Flamingo using the wobble. Wonderful use of a wobble. Did you know that a Flamingo gets its pink color from the food it eats.
