Hi everyone! Therese is here hosting the August challenge. Today we are looking at flamingos in search of creative inspiration for your projects.
We hope you’ve enjoyed our July challenge and will join us once again. We certainly loved each one of your projects and your take on our inspiration photos.
This month’s theme: Flamingos
I did fall in love with these flamingos at the Jersey Zoo, I couldn't believe how anything could be such an amazing pink colour (and stand on such thin legs…)!
Here's a look at my project:
I decided that ‘watercolor' was the best choice for this project and used Lotus as well as a sentiment from Best Mom.
If you would like to see how my card came together you can either see my video here or Watch it in HD at Youtube.

What a gorgeous card. Flamingos are such great inspiration and have great color variations. Can’t wait to see everyone’s projects.
I had such a treat seeing these incredible birds at the Indianapolis Zoo last Spring, Therese! So hard to believe they are real, right? I adore your inspiration – not a Flamingo in the house! xx

So stunning and you did a beautiful job evoking the image of water and shadow. Such a gorgeous card! TFS
Beyond words beautiful! Thanks for a great lesson!
Thank you for the fun challenge and the video was fabulous and fantastic – I hope to put into practice some of the things that were shared for watercolouring – in fact I have tried a couple of the techniques with my Altenew stamps tonight! Karen x
Therese, your card is stunning!
Therese, your interpretation of this is phenomenal! I love the way you added some pink into the background, as a kind of reflection – gorgeous!
Thank you for your challenge – just love the colours, your stamps are just fantastic. x
Those reflections on the water! Fabby.
I was wondering where we find the winners for this challenge. I don’t see where it has been posted! Thank you!
I too was wondering where the winners were for this challenge since they were due on Sept. 10th…I emailed Altenew yesterday and was told the winners would be posted Sept. 24th.
Thanks, Donna, I’ve been watching here, too.
