I'll Stand By You Rainbow Flamingo Card

One of the awesome things we did at convention was a card drive to collect blank handmade cards for a local charity in Orlando. I had some cards already in my stash, but decided at the last minute that I needed to make something special and specific to Orlando. As I worked, I sent all my good thoughts and wishes to everyone affected by the tragedies in Orlando. 

I painted a variety of watercolor wash rainbows. I made 8 different washes. After they dried, I chose my favorite, and added some fun gold touches, following along with the new sketch over at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.  That gold stripe zip strip is from May's Happy Times special, I added the flamingos from Tickled Pink, cut out using the matching thin dies. 

My sentiment is actually from Lawn Fawn. I love the flamingo sentiments in Tickled Pink, but in this case I felt that this sentiment said better how I felt and maybe someone might need a card like this right now. Sending hugs and love out to everyone, everywhere...
