Celebrate like A Flamingo!

I need to make a card for someone who lives in Florida and likes flamingos, so it was the perfect time to pull out this flamingo die, which I hadn't used yet. The flamingo die is by Recollections, the little sailboat die is by Simon Says Stamps, and the clouds are by Spellbinders. I used a sentiment by Cardz TV. My favorite part of this card though, are the snippets of blue card stock that I glued to a scrap cardstock piece, and then cut to fit the card front. I also tore a piece of scrap tan paper and inked the edges to resemble sand. Now of course, flamingos don't live out by the ocean, or at least I don't think any do..but what do I know? So we can pretend that this is just a really, really large lagoon.

Pixie's Snippets challenge 410. I used nothing but snippets for this card, except for the card base. The glossy orange colored paper for the sailboat and sentiment mat are from a cereal box.

 As You Like It, Favorite wild animal and why. I like flamingos, after I found out that they are not naturally pink or coral, but get their color from the shrimp that they eat.
