Flamingo Rose Travel Journal

It's new release day for Sandra Caldwell and I'm showcasing the fabulous #1675 Flamingo Rose.  Isn't she gorgeous?  She just screamed TROPICAL VACATION to me so I decided to add her to the cover of a travel journal I picked up at Michaels.  I used Spellbinder's squares to cut vinyl in what I hoped to look like a Polaroid pic to frame her.  I thought the vinyl would stick to the textured vinyl cover a bit better that card stock, but I ended up having to add Scoretape to the edges to really get it to stick.  Then I framed the frame with washi tape, added additional washi tape sentiments and a beachy sticker to the bottom.

Here's a closeup of #1675 Flamingo Rose.  I've colored her with Copics and then fussy cut her.  I added a piece of acetate to the frame before sticking her to the corner which not only protects the image, but left no need to use adhesive behind her.  My first thought was to make a shaker, but the cover is quite stiff and bends at the spine so I was afraid the added dimension might be a problem, especially when using the attached elastic that keeps the book closed.  I still love the way it turned out.  Be sure to check out the rest of the fun new stamps being showcased by my teamies in the Sandra Caldwell Stamp fans FB Group.
