Today I brought the snow to the tropics, not only with my flamboyant friends, but with some added greenery. I made some "faux snow" by rubbing 2 Styrofoam balls together to create white flakes (homemade flocking), and used Liquid Pearls to shimmer up the giant snowflakes and the birds' hats. I drew tiny snowflakes in the upper right corner and sprinkled some crystal fine glitter from Stampin' Up there, on the large snowflake and on my palm trees.
As far as the status of my card stash goes, there's an epic song by Queen that says it all:

Such a fun creation! Love those wacky flamingos and the tropical spin you've put on them. Love your handmade snow and the sentiment in the middle of the snowflake. A very creative make! Thanks for joining us over at the Sparkle N Sprinkle Creative Challenge.

So cute! Love those flamingos in the tropical snowy scene. Very creative cad! Thank you for sharing it with us at the Sparkle N Sprinkle Monthly Creative Challenge.
Fun and adorable Flamingos and love their winter attire. Great idea for the snow...who doesn't have Styrofoam around the house stored in the closet waiting to be used. Thanks for the tip and joining us at Double Trouble and sharing with our partner at Brown Sugar. Hope you come back and see what Trouble Maker, Double Dare and Twisted Sister have up their sleeve for the next challenge and partnering.
Love those flamingos!
Thank you for sharing with Hiding in my Craft Room!

I love these wacky birds...they made me laugh out loud! I can imagine that's what Flamingo's would look like if they were faced with snow! Thanks for joining us at the Double Trouble Papercrafting Challenge.
