As a keen embroiderer I love the IC site today. This is actually my second choice, but was a card I just had to make given that somebody just sent me a book about a ruby-throated hummer . Oops - forgot to link - here it is: Elegant Damask Hummingbird.
5" square base.
Hummingbird stamped on Bristol Board with StazOn Stone Grey and coloured with distress inks - walnut stain, forest moss, peeled paint, bundled sage, victorian velvet, tumbled glass, chipped sapphire. After cutting it out I embossed it with clear EP. Sentiment stamped directly on the base.
I cut two circles from white card - sponged the edges of the larger one with victorian velvet and embossed with clear ep, embossed the smaller one with D'vine Swirl.
CheeryLynn Fanciful Flourish cut from Bazzill, the humming bird is glued to the flourish at his legs and his wings, tail and head are popped up on foam.
