This is for my Mom (Mary) for the Teapot Tuesday Challenge MMTPT529. I chose a (very old) hummingbird stamp from my stash, inking it with markers. The challenge was to use repetition so I have repeated the colours (green and purples) from the hummingbird on the background and the sequins. I die cut the 'hello' twice and offset for a bit of shadow, and repeated the shape of the opening in the background die with a coordinating shaped window. I added lots of foam tape, so I think this one will be hand delivered.

What a beautiful card for your mother. The soft colours are beautiful, especially on that lovely floral frame. You certainly incorporated some great repetition in your sweet shaker card.
