July/August Flamingo

Flamingo, the theme of the month July/August.
I am a big fan of flamingos, I even made 2 life size flamingos from paper mache, and they are standing in my garden. Yes, really!


These envelopes are made by Ivy:
A tropical envelope with flowers and palm trees cut out of garden magazines and 2 flamingo cut out of pages of a book:

For this envelope I cut out flamingo heads and necks and glued them on the envelope:
 I liked the simplicity of the color and shape of the flamingo, you only need a few lines to show what bird it is, for this envelope I used water color paint:
 This lovely envelope is made by Nathalie, she used a beautiful glimmery paper as background, she cut out the big flamingo out of the green paper with a pink paper behind it, and the little flamingo are glued on top of the green paper. Beautiful made, with little glitter stickers on it for the eye and flower hearts. The flamingos flew on their own here as they lost the stamp on the way!! Well done

This fantastic envelope is made by Karen and it is a very crafty piece of work.
It is a transparant envelope, stitched together on the sides and in it...
 is a golden egg, with pink feathers coming out and a flamingo with very long legs...
 and when you open the egg you can take out this gorgeous flamingo, wow!! great idea, I love it!!

This beautiful and colorful envelope is made by Nancy, I love the shape of the flamingo!!
Nice work.
