Pixie Cottage Challenge #78

Happy Wednesday!  That means only two more days till Friday, then it's the weekend.  Woohoo!  That also means it's time for another sketch/theme challenge at The Pixie Cottage.  This week's theme is wrap it with ribbon.  As always, you can follow the sketch, go with the theme, or combine the two.  Have fun with it!  This week I went with one of the new digital images by ArTish, called Feathers. 

This image reminds me of a very good friend who lives in Miami.  One of her  neighbors has lots of plastic flamingos in her yard, and when I was visiting out there, my friend and I snuck over (at night of course)  and hung some Mardi Gras beads around the birds.  Next morning one of the flamingos was in my friend's front yard.  Turns out the neighbor was watching us from her balcony the whole time;  we gave ourselves away because we were giggling too loudly.  Oh, those carefree days from...three years ago.  LOL!   I decided to fancy up this image a bit. I printed the image three times, twice on DP and cut out the body, "bloomers", wings and flower from the DP, and colored the rest of the image with Copics.  Added a bunch of sparkle with Stickles.  Thought the sentiment was perfect.  Double layered some ribbons and added these gorgeous little butterflies cut with dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.  The doily was also cut from a Cheery Lynn doily die.  The DP is Basic Grey Lemonade pack.  Lemonade and flamingos...couldn't get much more summery!

Come play along with our sketch/theme challenge.  The randomly picked winner will win two stamps of their choice from The Pixie Cottage College collection.
