Today's Inspiration Challenge -- Forums at Splitcoaststampers -- was rather interesting. Catherine Ledner is an animal photographer, and we were to choose one of her photographs as our inspiration. The flamingo was my animal-of-choice and made this card for my neighbor, who has a love/hate relationship with flamingoes. She once said she liked them, and now everyone gives her flamingo gifts!
The flamingo and water are watercolored with Twinkling H2Os; but I didn't have a pale enough blue for the sky, so I used chalk. I continued my use of Faith dots from earlier in the week. I'm not sure I should have put the shimmery chalks on the CB'd background, but it's too late now. I'm not doing it over!

LOL at your comment, Lois, cuz if I'd had a flamingo image I would have used it!! You really did it justice and admire your patience with those dots! Using the CB ef for your background was a cool choice--great job!!

This is very pretty. I love the colors and the flamingo. I really like the way you did the bird on the CBd panel. Looks misty--sort of like looking at it through a light fog. Cool! I like your Faith dots, too.
