Used separate stencils for bg then stamped focal image and sentiment in black. Stamped flamingo on copy paper, colored with copics then fussy cut to layer on top. Layered that on black cs then on white base. Added sequins for shine and interest.
Looking at it now I wish I had done the wonky squares first in the gray and left that stencil down and then add the next flower stencil so the light green was peeking out behind.

You did a wonderful job on this card. The background and then the addition of other images makes for a very interesting and beautiful card. We must have esp or something as I made a card using a flamingo stamp yesterday. How weird is that?
