What's black and white and coral all over?

Well, apparently my card is!  I wanted something different and I think I've accomplished it. Although Flamingos are known for their bright pink color this one represents a silhouette image.

The Back to Black designer paper is so versatile because the colors and patterns are not only trendy, but classic. 

I began by cutting a piece of Calyso Coral carsdtock 1 7/8" x 4" to stamp the flamingo and used the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.  I also cut a piece of Basic Black cardstock 2" (on the dot, don't go over or it won't fit in the punch) x 4 1/8".  I used the punch on that piece as well which gave me a thin border around the coral color.

And, of course, this little guy needed some sparkle so I added a little Silver Dazzling Details to the ground beneath his feet.

The heart was punched from the same Calypso Coral cardstock using the Itty Bitty Accents punch and a small rhinestone helps to create continuity with my sparkly ground. The picture doesn't do this card justice. It's quite stunning in person – black flamingo and all!
