I used the same colors from this image on our inspiration site (IC495): http://schweitzerlinen.com/fillip.html
Sponged the scene on the card front using masks for the sun and hills, die cut the flamingo from white and sponged inks on her also - then spritzed with shimmer mist for some sparkle! Legs are black cs, die cut the opening in my top panel, and then embossed, raised this panel and the flamingo up with dimensionals, stamped and adhered sentiment flag. So fun!! I'm going to love this little guy! Linking also to:

Cute!! Love the rectangle opening with the beautiful sunrise/sunset. It gives dimension to your design, as well as gives nice color next to the wide white frame. The flamingo is awesome. Love the sentiment. Nicely done. TFS

Love this! Your sponged background is perfect against your pop of pink and the textured top panel adds interest while still being perfectly CAS. Thanks for sharing at Less is More and ATSM this week, Anita x
