I was delighted to see Vicky (aka Vickydee) as Featured Stamper this week. I have always enjoyed her cards in the challenges we both do. As I browsed her beautiful gallery I saw many favorite cards and lots of new ones too. Vicky designs beautiful and sweet scenes on many of her cards, but I went the more "traditional" route with this lovely card: MMTPT193 - Humming along by vickydee at Splitcoaststampers
Her fancy hummingbird reminded me of my favorite hummingbird stamp so it was a no-brainer here. I kept her hummingbird, the floral velum bg and her colors. I added more layers, sequins, a sentiment and decided to color my hummer.
I stenciled the floral design onto velum. Because I use sheet adhesive for velum and I find velum difficult to get exactly where I want it, I stencil a larger sheet; smack it down onto cardstock and then cut off the excess to frame the stencil where I want it. I used this stencil because it had the matching flower die. Fussy cut the bird image and glued everything down. This was my second bg because I forgot the golden rule -- measure twice; cut once. Oops.
Congratulations Vicky on being this week's Featured Stamper. I know you will inspire many beautiful cards this week and I hope you enjoy being in the spotlight. I hope everyone is having a great day and that your "cuts" all measure up perfectly. TFL

Debbie, this is a gorgeous case of Vicky's card. I adore your beautiful stenciled background on the vellum and how soft and pretty it is to highlight your whimsical humming bird and flower.
Wow, what a pretty take on her card. It is so cool to see how you incorporated so many of her ideas and still made it quite different. Love your layers. Beautiful stenciling in the BG. And I love the movement your sequins add. So delicate.
