I love this little stamp set from Simon Says Stamp - it's called Take Heart. We don't have hummingbirds sadly in the UK but when I lived in Houston and went to Colorado we saw dozens of them - such gorgeous little birds and that's what sold this set for me.
My inspiration for this card came from the challenge at Time Out Challenge and the image they gave us to work from
I started by stamping the images in Black Archival and then coloured them in with some Stampin Up colours - Bermuda Bay for that gorgeous green and some Tim Holtz Distress Inks for the flowers and the bird. I coloured and cut out extra flowers and added them on dimensionals.
I then used a cloud stencil to create the clouds at the back and a wood stencil for the foreground to represent the wooden decking. I added some heart gems to go with the sentiment and some sparkle with a Spectrum Noir sparkle pen on the bird and the inside of the flowers.
I'm adding this into the following challenges:
The Flower Challenge - pastels
Let's Create - Flowers
The Sisterhood of Crafters - Spring
Allsorts - Butterflies, Birds, Bees

I am so pleased Fiona that our photo inspired this gorgeous card. I really like how you built up that background with the clouds and the desking stencils-such thought and creativity. The Hummingbird is just gorgeous-I love hummingbirds but have never seen one like you-lucky you....still the stamps are fun (must dust mine off!). I like the pinks you used on the flowers and that you added a touch of dimension too! Thanks for joining Time Out x
