Hi, Diane here today with a card for our challenge
for this weeks theme, which is  Hummingbirds.


 I had my Memory Box Garden Leafy Branches stencil
sitting out from a previous project so decided to use it once again.
I sponged on Certainly Celery ink with a Mini Ink Blending Tool.

I cut Memory Box Tall Chloe Stem from white card stock.
I colored the stems with a Dim Green Copic.
The flowers, I added Art Institute Dries Clear Adhesive to each little circle,
then applied white flocking.


I cut Memory Box Forest Hummingbirds from water color paper,
then used TH Distress water color markers to color.

A little tip is to maybe cut all your die cuts before placing on your base.
I had all my flowers adhered, then cut my hummingbirds only to realize
they would be facing the wrong way, the way the flowers had been placed.
I had to remove them all, and rearrange.
Let me just say it would have been MUCH easier to not to have done that!!


Thank you for visiting with me today!

You colored that hummingbird up so pretty! Love the die cuts and the stenciled background as well as the green gingham ribbon. Looks like a cool, serene garden scene.
