Hello!
I am lucky enough to have a hummingbird feeder right outside the window of our home office and it’s the busiest spot in the yard! There are literally dozens of ruby throated beauties feeding all day long and this bright card features one of the wonderful hummingbird images from the NEW “Sweet Greetings” Stamp Set.
I stamped, colored and die cut the bird and the large floral stem from the NEW "You" Stamp Set. I heat embossed and die cut the word sentiment from the "Cherry Blossom" Set on black card stock.
Using the "Stained Glass" Stencil, I inked a panel (measuring 4" x 5.25") with "Worn Lipstick" and "Wilted Violet" Distress Oxide Inks; a large oval (from the Layered Oval Die Set) was cut on the left side to create a window. This panel was backed with a layer of heavy chip board (a recycled Cheerios box) and attached to the front of a top-folding A2 card base. The floral stem, hummingbird and sentiment were adhered in place with foam tape/liquid adhesive and a handful of sequins finished up the card.
Here are the two new stamp sets that I used on this card - they work perfectly together and I love all of the great sentiments!

ReplyDeleteA truly beautiful creation with these pretty colors and stamps. I love seeing hummingbirds, you are so lucky to see so many of them coming by your office window. I usually get them throughout the summer but for some reason they've not been here much this summer.
