Cottage Cutz Hummingbird

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.
