I was excited to see Kathy (Airborne101) as the Featured Stamper today...Kathy has to be one of the most faithful stampers in leaving encouraging comments and has such a fabulous variety of cards in her wonderful gallery! I chose to CASE her toucans on a fence card as I have the same CLD die and wanted to combine her layout with an inspiration photo from yesterday's challenge website. Kathy's Card Inspiration Photo
I kept Kathy's layout with the fence and sky except I used a pink flower and grass as my feature on the fence as seen in the photo. Like Kathy I created a sky scene for the bg except I sponged it with a masked sun, using a silvery texured card which shimmers beautifully IRL, only partly picked it up in my photo.
The inspiration photo looked like it was at the beach so I sponged some sand dunes behind the fence and then added some silvery beach grass.
The flower is made with 6 layers using a Marianne Creatables die.

Bridget,
Another of your gorgeous cards into my favs! Your card is really beautiful and the awesome textured paper you've used just adds to its beauty. The colors in the sky are lovely and the fence looks wonderful. I love the little reeds of grass and pretty flower also! Thank you so much for taking the time to make another of your gorgeous cards today!!
