Hi everyone! I'm going to thank everyone here at SCS yet again. Why, because of so much beauty in the gallery and the challenges throughout this site. In the short time that I've been uploading, I have tried so many techniques (instead of putting them on the back burner). SCS has helped me become more confident.
Ok, on to the details for my first Alphabet Challenge. This weeks letter is "O" and the double challenge is to create a one layer card. Did you know there is such a thing as an Oasis Hummingbird!?! Here's my inspiration: http://static.wixstatic.com/media/cb...247b88~mv2.jpg
*Stamped this multi-layer bird with a few Altenew colors (the green got lost) and then sealed this image with clear embossing powder. Added a black gem for the eye.
*Stamped floral image from Altenew Vintage Flowers and the "leaves" are from an old SU set (mini watercolor flowers ???). Sealed the flowers too.
*Set oval mask to sponge w/SU Bliss Blue for a little bg interest
*Stamped sentiment from various stamp sets w/Altenew Jet Black a couple of times
Of course, the MISTI made this card come together so easily. I'll make several more of these with more of a winter theme for general note cards. Hmmm, do Hummingbirds migrate for the winter??? Thank goodness for Google.
Thanks for looking!

What a wonderful card Deborah! I love this Oasis Hummingbird about to enjoy some nectar from these succulent flowers. The blue "sky" around the hummer looks so soft and lovely and really set the stage for this hummer. You have made a wonderful card for the Double O Alphabet Challenge! Yay! ~Karen.

I'm still working on coming up with an O card. You did a great job on this one. The humming bird captured in the oval is a beautiful way to bring the focus on the Hummer. Very pretty!
