MMTPT193 - Spring Song
Added to Favorite

Photo Details
Poster: etsdas

 Mothermark has her mind on the mating season for hummingbirds - must be timely, as the birds in our back yard seem to be alternately chasing each other and beating a retreat!
This is probably the male - I did not check but usually the male is the colorful one. And I doubt I have anything to steal away another hummingbird, so no extra cookies today!
We are sending our cards to Barbara. She will be 85 in a few weeks. She just had surgery and some complications, so is in need of extra cheer. Read more here:

I have not done a lot of other SCS challenges of late, but Monday's technique is to use a punch of the same color to create a faux dry embossed piece. I used a small medallion type punch in yellow, but added a step - ran the piece through the CB with a Swiss Dots folder. Pretty subtle, but I like the look.
I used this sketch: http://www.sweetsketchwednesday.blogspot.com/

On the Bingo card here I used the colors on the right column: http://allsortschallenge.blogspot.com/

What a lovely hummingbird, Dorothy! This must be the male, as he is so colorful, a real chick magnet! Your faux embossing is a wonderful bg for this blue beauty!!

Have fun and be creative!

I too like that pretty blue coloring! Adding the little medallions for your faux embossing was a nice touch. They look perfect w/the dots. Nice card for Barbara! :)

Very pretty!

I like your take on Monday's challenge to run your background through an embossing folder. It adds the perfect texture

Lovely hummingbird, Dorothy. I like your dainty background, too, and the way you have one extra little sunburst by the sentiment.

You met two challenges and nailed them. TFS your idea of the extra step for yesterday's challenge.
