Road Trip!

It's my day on the Eyelet Outlet Blog, where I've made a confession only papercrafters will understand: I recently bought an entire 12x12 sheet of PhotoPlay "Happy Glamper" stickers entirely so that my adorable Eyelet Outlet Flamingo Flatback Resin pal would have a super-cute camper van in which to embark on exciting flamingo adventures. And what's more, I stand by that decision!


Ok, yeah, that's a little bit of an exaggeration, because I really like the whole sheet, and I know I'll use them, but seriously, my first thought was, "That camper is EXACTLY the right size for an EO Flamingo!!!" lol.


With a central image as fun as this, you really don't need much else to finish off a card. I added a Heart Pearl to the camper van's door, a couple of stamped palm trees, and a few patterned paper clouds; then grounded the little scene on a strip of Road Washi Tape.



I've been loooooooving the sketches at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge, so I'm jumping in over there again this week on Sketch #172:


I can never resist a pun, so I stamped a fun sentiment and used a couple of tiny red pearls from a Pearl Strip as punctuation.


And now, it's time for me to hit the road... let's FLAMINGO! ♥♥♥
