I'm not a big fan of the color pink, but this image just needed to be pink, so here goes. I believe the image is from Lindy's Stamp gang and I stamped it at a friend's house many years ago, and recently dug it out of the cobwebs and decided to finally turn it into a card. I colored it with Copics and layered it with black and pastel pink snippets of cardstock. The background paper and polka dot strip were also snippets of designer paper. The sentiment is also from LSG and I die cut that panel with a SNSS ticket die, rubbing a black marker around the edge to make it more visible. That tiny little cake is a brand new item I'm using for the first time. I recently won a cute Sizzix thinlits die set and the birthday cake was part of it. I cut it from the same panel of pastel pink and some white, coloring the frosting and strawberries on top with Copic markers. Hopefully this brings a smile to the person who receives it on their birthday. I have a friend who dreads (perhaps even HATES) pink flamingoes, so I might send it to her as a snarky card just for laughs :)

Super card Carol, what a fabulous flamingo. xx
This is an adorable card. I have a flamingo stamp (many years old) and never quite knew what to do with it Carol, thank you so much for a lovely idea!
Great card Carol - and I never heard of a green flamingo so it just had to Be pink! Very amusing with the funky flamingo - and your poor friend will be on the hunt for a card for your next Birthday I'll bet!
Hugs

Pink and black is always a great colours combo and your card looks fun with that cute flamingo and the pun sentiment, I'm sure your friend will laugh receiving it! :D Your layering of the tiny cake and the frosted strawberries is just perfect, tiny pieces are always difficult to assemble for me! Well done also with the black edges of the ticket and the polka dots choice for the stripe, you have always a very good eye for the details!
I always think to you, dear friend, and sending big hugs, prayers and blessings on your way!
... And with my DT hat I say you thanks so much for sharing your fabulous card with us at We Love Stamping, I'm happy to see it there! Good luck!

Aww! I absolutely adore your pretty pink flamingo!
Hugs and blessings, Carol!
Oh, what a cute card for your friend’s birthday even thought she doesn’t like the pink birds, lol! I think of my one sis when I see the flamingo for she loves them. Love the image and the birthday cake! Great design, too!
I agree with you on pink - but if you have to use it a flamingo is the way to go!! It's so cute!!
Beautiful and wonderful, and as for sending it to your friend? OH! YES! You have too, I'm sure she will enjoy this impressive card. Love that little cake too.

A great pink flamingo birthday card for sure! Love the layers of black elements with it as well and make the image stand out nicely!
Beautiful.Thank you for joining at stamping sensations.
OMWord, this is a cute card Carol! I love pink! LOL And I am loving that flamingo, you have colored him/her up so nicely. The papers you used are fabulous, yes I truly love the pink and black color combo. How cute is that cake?!! But what I love the best of all???? It is the friend how dreads/hates pink flamingoes and that you might send this card to her as a snarky card for laughs. That is just too fun and I think you should definitely do it! Hahaha! We all need something to laugh about and that would be a great one. Hugs, Brenda
Well I like pink and I very much like your pink flamingo which you have teamed with some fab design papers and punny sentiment on this delightful card. Thank you for coming to play with us at Stamping Sensations this month. Hugs, Lesley
