Happy Birthday - Hummingbird Card

I like to make birthday cards ahead of time to have them on hand.  This one was a joint effort with me and my daughter.  I had this Bugaboo stamp Blocks - Hummingbird and my daughter suggested I only color the flowers.  I liked her idea and then figured out how to bring it all together.


  I embossed a white piece of cardstock with Die'sire Embossalicious "Lattice" embossing folder and used that for the background.  Before attaching it to the card I wrapped black ribbon around the middle.  I colored the flowers with Distress Markers (Spun Sugar, Milled Lavender, Mustard Seed, and Spiced Marmalade).  I added Sakura Stardust glitter gel pen around the edges of the square and on the "flutters" beneath the hummingbird.  Then I layered it on black cardstock, and layered that on pink cardstock to match the flowers.  I used dimensional foam squares to attach that to the embossed layer and add the black bow.  I like the black & white with pink flowers...I think it came out beautifully.  My daughter's idea was perfect.

    Your daughter gave you a great suggestion. Black and white cards are fun to do and the touch of pink makes the card "very girly."
