Birthday Hummingbird

I have a standing card order every year around this time. My Mom has a longtime friend who's birthday is in March and every year she asks me to make a card for her to go with her gift. 

Her friend loves pink and yellow and I usually try to do flowers for her because she loves flowers. This year my Mom told me after her lunch date that her friend has kept every card I have made for her. This just warms my heart and I am always super happy to do the card because my Mom is always so excited to see what I come up with and give it to her friend. This year I used a retired stamp called Sweet Hummingbird from Your Next Stamp. She loved her card!

I stamped on alcohol maker friendly paper, coloured with Copic markers and cut the stamp out with a pleated lace die. I set it aside and cut some patterned paper from Cocoa Vanilla and Kaisercraft to fit my A2 size base. I added some ribbon before gluing them down. I glued down the stamp, added the bow on top and finished it off with some enamel dots. I stamped the sentiment, cut it with a fish tail die, mounted it on matching cardstock and added it under the stamp.
