When I saw this stamp with a little flamingo on it I really didn't know what to do with it, but I love love love how it turned out, it suits this new punch beautifully, a little pink to colour this little flamingo and it finished it off nicely.
Note: To achieve the early espresso mat behind the punched out image, I punched 2 more early espresso decorative label punches, trimmed the 2 smaller sides on one punched shape, then the two longer sides on the second punched shape then glued them behind my original punched image. May need to trim a little if some doesn't fit exactly, but it works pretty well.
Stamp Sets: Clearly for you (NEW)
Ink Pads: Real Red, Pretty in pink, early espresso, Old olive, pretty in pink marker
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Very vanilla
DSP: Soft subtles DSP stack, Neutrals DSP stack
Punches: 5 petal flower punch, scallop circle punch, decorative label punch
Other: Very vanilla satin ribbon, vanilla smooch spritz (NAH)
Melissa I love how you have a border/mat on your punched out sentiment.....how do you achieve that. I am assuming the punch only comes in one size? TFS Cheers Donna Zammit

Our flamingos are the Genuine "Don Featherstone" design (with his signature), created in 1957 by Union Products in Leominster, Massachusetts. Unfortunately, Union Products closed in 2006, but the original molds for these classic pink 1950’s icons were purchased and are being used to produce them once again.
