Scene It Sunday #194 Featuring Flamingo from Conie Fong

Good morning and welcome to my Scene It Sunday post for today. I haven't managed to do one of these posts for ages now, simply because I have been making so many cards for people at work, who either have their birthdays during the summer holidays or are leaving for pastures new, that I haven't made any scenic ones!

Anyway...this one is for one of my TAs who has a flamingo obsession! I just had to make her a flamingo card and this cutie from Conie Fong was perfect for a little beach scene!
