Such an elegant first card - I'm loving the colours and the long, clean lines <3 Your card for our tropical fruits colour challenge is great! Tropical Christmas and a fabulous flamingo... what's not to like? The sparkly snow is a great touch. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More :)
Two great cards Kathy and I adore your very stylish and prettily coloured couple and then that rather exotic flamingo is perfect for the LIM challenge. x
Two wonderful cards Kathy but I'm drooling over the first one, so evocative and stylish! x
Your colorful flamingo Christmas card is hilarious... Something different for sure! Fun idea to stamp the sentiment in an angle. Thanks for joining us at Less Is More!
Two fabulous cards, I particularly love the flamingo, he made me smile x
Great image and great way how you made the anniversary card! And a christmascard with tropical colours; that is so different and fun! And not what I would expected :) It is a fun card! Hope you have a sunny weekend!
I too didn;t have any tropical fruits, thought about the flaming i have but then decided to turn a slice of cheese into watermelon ;-) your card is super cute....If you paint your flamingo black he could be a vulture for halloween ;-)
Great cards. Thanks for joining us at Crafty Creations. Ciao, Lisa
FABULOUS cards!
Your flamingo is FUN and your anniversary card so ELEGANT, LOVE them both!

Your anniversary cards are so elegant decorating the envelope makes them very special. That's a brilliant flamingo stamp and I love the lights round the leg.
