Okay, who is responsible for all the bling on this card?
I originally started with just a little on the bottom, then took another look at my sketch and added the two on the sides...but I did something a little different with the ribbon since all these panels were attached like cement!! So I tried something new with the ribbon treatment,and had fun participating in Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday to come along on the Birdbrain Train. I think I belong there after this card.
Edited to Add:
The bird was made by applying a darker marker along the outside edge of the stamp ( it didn't work to try to line it later,) then added 3 colors (Almost amethyst, apricot appeal, and green galore then tapped the entire image with lovely lavendar marker)...then misted lightly using the Tim Holtz mini-misters...then stamped!

I love your flourish and beautiful hummer! The bling...a little or a lot, is perfect for a birthday party, and the shine can help direct the birds that start to get lost! Great job, Traci!

Oh Traci! Yes, this is the place for you sister! Bling, lotsa bling! I love it all and think your card is simply delish! Love your soft colors and beautiful swirls! Your bird looks mosaic. Your scalloped edge is so pretty! How good to see you here. Wanna sit by me? C'mon, let's chat it up over some tea. Miss you! LYMI Hugs.....

Rut roh! We have a mystery to solve......gotta be one of these other hummers that showed up.....they are fast and speedy and can drop some bling in a matter of seconds....
Its the perfect finishing touch...I am thinking it was probably you that had the talent and creativity to add it....just like you Traci to want to give the credit to someone else! I love that you came today....when I was doing my card, I was thinking I bet Traci comes to this party, she loves her birdies!
Its so beautiful...complete with lacey border, beautiful ribbon and bling, bling, bling......Love it! And I love being a birdbrain with you.....a birdbrain is one step under a dork! Snort!
