Hummingbird Wishes

 I am taking a break from making Christmas cards and adding to my birthday card stash with this card featuring "Hummingbird" from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. This stamp reminds me of my girls weekend at a friends cottage. She has a few window hummingbird feeders around her cottage and it is so fun to sit and watch them come in to feed. They are amazing little creatures and I love to sit and listen to the hum of their wings. 

                                          

I coloured this pretty stamp with Copic alcohol markers after stamping it on alcohol marker friendly paper and hand fussy cut it leaving a thin white edge. Next, I found some water color paper from Lawn Fawn and cut it to fit my 5" x 5" card base. I cut a circle to go behind the stamp using two nesting circles, added some sparkly mesh I had in my stash and using the largest circle cut some white cardstock to put behind it. All of the paper edges are inked lightly to help them stand out. Enamel dots finish off my card.

Hummingbird Birthday

  My Mother in law has a Birthday coming up in a few weeks and she always loves a handmade card from me ...shhhhhh. She loves flowers and birds so I try to find a flower stamp I can use for her Birthday card. This year I think the Hummingbird stamp from High Hopes Rubber Stamps is perfect for her card. I kept the design quite simple and flat because I will need to mail it to her this year. 

After stamping and colouring with Copic markers, I cut the stamp out with a square pleated lace die. Patterned paper was perfect for the background so I cut the pieces to fit the 5"x 5" card base and design. Next, I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with a fishtail banner die, added some matching card stock, put it on the corner of the card and glued everything down. Glitter dots in the corners and the sentiment finish off the card.

Hummingbird Smiles

I am in love with this hummingbird stamp from High Hopes! I love colouring flowers and birds so this stamp had to be added to my collection! I also got in touch with my CAS (clean and simple) side - this type of card is always a challenge for me and I have to literally sit on my hands to not keep adding things. 

I will colour this one up again as it is a versatile stamp that can be used for many occasions - I'm thinking birthday card at the moment <wink>.

I stamped this gorgeous stamp with Memento Tuxedo black ink, coloured it with alcohol markers and hand fussy cut it leaving a thin white edge. Next I grabbed some baby blue ink, a cloud die and a dabber and created my cloud background. I cut a piece of white card stock to size and used a circle die to cut out a "window". 

After temporarily placing things on the base I used my Misti to stamp the sentiment directly on to the cloud background and then glued down my coloured image.
