Flamazing!

I'm back with another card designed for Topflight Stamps. This time I'm featuring the flamingo from the Two Tropical Birds Unmounted Stamp Set by Crafty Individuals with sentiments from the Flamazing Clear Stamp Set 617 by Janet Klein for AALL and Create. The background was created with the Palm Fronds Stencil by Craft Emotions with two colors of Lavinia Stamps' Elements Inks and Rainforest VersaFine Clair Ink by Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko.

Here's the slimline card!
