The Hummingbird Collection

Happy Sunday , It's a little dull here in the South West but very, very humid!

I have Simply Cards & Papercraft delivered each month

and when it was delivered the other day I could not wait to play

What a stunning Hummingbird collection we were well and truly spoilt

I am very afraid of frogs in real life but this little chap was yelling at me to use him

I decided I wanted to use nice fresh colours of green and yellow with white

I started with a 6 x 6 white card blank

Using the freebie embossing folder which is 5 x 5

Cutting a hole in the center

Mounted onto some fresh green cardstock

I added in some bakers twine and adhered all to cardbase

With a slightly smaller die , cut another smaller circle

and then the stamps came into play

I stamped the frog and the sentiment using Memento ink Bamboo Leaves

Using Water paints to colour up
(using blue I flicked about for some effect - not much I'm not that brave!)

I then used the fern stamp around the edge

and attached with foam pads

For the Flowers I stamped them twice, the underneath flowers are painted as are the leafs

For the top flowers I used Brusho's Yellow and lemon 

added a few tiny pearls once dry and a little yellow stickles

Finished of with some faux stitching, a few fern leafs from a fern die and a button

Thank you for looking have a great day
