Peaceful Hummingbird – Tutorial #123

dsc06110.JPG

This is a farewell to the hummingbirds here in Ohio.  I’m always so sad when then leave.  But I can hardly blame them for heading for warmer climates in preparation for the Autumn and Winter to come.

I feel this card would be a good Sympathy card.  Sympathy cards are always so hard for me to come up with.  I try to create a peaceful scene that is not sad.

Let’s get started.  🙂

Supplies:

Stamps: Stampin’ Up “Baroque Motifs” & Cornish Heritage Farms “Hummingbird”
Paper: Stampin’ Up Whisper White, Handsome Hunter & Sage Shadow
Ink: Stampin’ Up Sage Shadow, Handsome Hunter & Not Quite Navy
Accessories: Versamark Pad, Fine detail clear embossing powder, heat gun, sponge, ribbon, silver brads

Wow, I can’t remember the last time I used the ink color Handsome Hunter, but I pulled it out this morning and sponged it over the Not Quite Navy ink, not covering it entirely.
