Birthday Love Flamingo

Mo’s Digital Pencil's "Patreon" Page HERE has four levels of Patron to choose from.  The lowest tier is absolutely FREE and my image today (which comes full length with an absolutely adorable fairy) was January's FREE digi image available for a limited time to every member. I cropped it for my polaroid style framing and used just the head of the flamingo. I always ask and receive Mo's permission to alter her already perfect images in any way.  You can join Mo's Patreon group at the lowest tier for FREE.   Paid membership starts with a minimum of just $2.50 per month, plus tax where applicable, and offers additional free images and coupons too.  It's sooooooo worth it to get your hands on some of Mo's highly acclaimed images.  This one called "Every Day is a Gift" is not currently available in Mo's shop.

There are lots of Valentine's challenges around but I decided to go with a Birthday Love theme rather than romantic love.  I coloured the image with Polychromos pencils and I  stamped the leaves around the die cut frame.  A ribbon and a little Papertrey Ink die cut tag with a kraft heart and stamped "Love" were the finishing touches. 

By the way, if you would prefer to see my cards on Facebook, please look for Lesley Kollinsky Grenouille Greetings HERE 

Just as a reminder of the other challenge where I am on the Design Team... our theme is "Dies or Punches" at Everybody Art Challenge
