I've wanted to try one of these cards for some time, so I was delighted to see Holly had chosen it for today's TLC. Better yet, I was lucky enough to win this beautiful set in Flourishes most recent release, and it arrived in the post this morning. The little hummingbird was just the right size to tuck behind the opening.
I followed Jan's tutorial except I didn't have the circle and square punches, and I embossed the proscenium piece.
I was going to lay white panels over the front, but the thought of working out dimensions and getting the circle right in this heat was too much, so instead I chose to emboss the leaves and flowers with silver EP and add the larger hummingbird. This is also for the FTTC challenge to use embossing.
Hope the photo is OK, it's so bright I won't be able to see my screen properly for a good while yet. If it looks way off, I'll edit it later!
