Hi! I made this card for today's sketch challenge. It is a great sketch, but somewhere along the line, I blew it. My card just looks like I slapped some cs on top of cs and that was it. Not exactly what was supposed to have happened!
I colored the stamp itself using green and blue markers, stamped and cut to size. I stamped my marble cube in green and 2 shades of blue then cut it to size. Added embossed panel and cardbase. I added a button and bow plus did some paper piercing for interest. Pretty bland looking, eh???
TFL and have an interesting day!

My eyes danced around this card -- I love it. I love the silhouette hummingbird -- he really is the focal point and I really got it. I love the birdcage e.f. I love the contrast of dsp papers on the left and right panels -- the colors match, the patterns are pleasing and contrasting without stressing my eyes. The only thing I can think to add would be a phrase, but this is really a very beautiful and well designed card. I love it a lot!

I think this is really pretty - I love the images you used and the colors! The papers pull it all together! Oh and I love that embossing - I haven't seen that one before!
