Hello, my friends!  I am hoping to get back into crafting on a part-time basis at least, and I have for you today a card made with the beautiful Cottage Cutz Hummingbird die.  I die cut the pieces and colored them with copic sketch markers.

The card base is white as well as the first layer that I embellished with a floral embossing folder.  I embossed the bottom portion of this layer very lightly as that is where I’ll place the sentiment when I decide on the recipient of the card.

The photo below is a closeup of the flowers and hummingbird.  I used a clear Wink of Stella Brush to add a shine and glitter to the bird’s wings, and drops of Stampin’ Up! Crystal Effects onto the floral portion of the card.  Hopefully, you can see that in the photo. Actually, I think you can see it better in the first photo…LOL.

JUNE 26, 2016 UPDATE:  Card was included in both the Splitcoaststampers Favorites of the Week, and CAS Favorites.

This photo is a side view of the beautiful hummingbird and floral arrangement.  I used copic sketch markers to color all of the die cuts.
I am posting this card on Splitcoastampers for one of the site’s challenges, the Splitcoaststampers “Wing It” Clean and Simple Challenge CAS382.  The challenge is, “Winging It with Birds, Bees and Butterflies” to celebrate the first day of summer.  Kiagc (aka Kia) is the host for the challenge.  She is such a wonderful lady and I love her work!  Hope you enjoy the card and come back soon!
