Barkley stamp set and spectrum noir markers and pencils

I bought this stamp set last year at http://www.crafterscompanion.com/  also that
is where I got my new colored pencils   SPECTRUM NOIR  there is five sets of
24   Essentials, Nature, Primaries, Marine, and Florals  they go with the Spectrum
Noir Marker and are to be used alone or together.  I used both on this card and I
love them.    My picture taking is terrible I always seem to have shadows.  Love
how my card turned out tho.

Now the flamingos I cut from cricut design space on my explore and I can't remember
which cut it was I just typed in FLAMINGO'S and this is what I got.  I used a homemade
paste (baking soda - Mod podge - and white acrylic paint )  I saw this on a blog but it didn't
give how much of each item so I played around with it.   So I added a dash of red acrylic to
make the dark pink for the flamingos.  I used the negative of the cut and put the paste on
and when it dried this is what I got!!!  for the black eyes I just used a marker.  the banner is
the flip side of the card front and I just snipped it to make it look like it does.  I hope you
like my card :)  Vicky
