My next card features Beth's NEW Emmy and Riley Flamingos stamp set.  It's such a FUN set!  I stamped the Flamingos in Versafine Onyx Black ink and embossed them with GKD Fine Detail Clear Embossing Powder before using Copic Markers.  I also used the new GKD Crystalline Drops on their beaks.  If you haven't tried it yet...you NEED to!  I have totally fallen for it along with the new Connect Glue.  These are both must haves in your crafty stash.
