Hello Hummingbird

This week's Color Throwdown combo gave me the perfect excuse to try out some new-to-me dies and inks. 

Love this vivid combo, so tropical and summery. Here's my card:

As I wanted the bird to be the focal point, I chose embossing rather than stamping for the flowers. For the same reason I stamped the sentiment directly on the card in a light colour, rather than raising it on a separate piece of card. Plain white looked nice for the card base but I felt this lovely light yellow enhanced the yellow on the bird.

Materials used:

• stamps - Tiny Words Birthday (Simon Says Stamp)
• card - basic white, lemon lolly
• SU inks - Tahitian tide, parakeet party, lemon lolly, azure afternoon, smoky slate
• other - layered hummingbird wafer die (SSS), black gem, sponge daubers, Dimensionals, Big Shot, Book Cover Engravings 3D embossing folder (Altenew), craft foam, MISTI

Thanks for calling in.

Cheers

Kerry
