I could pull off the Pool Party and Island Indigo but the the Flirty Flamingo was much harder....can you see it??? I hope so ;-) It's on the little flower and border on the sentiment ticket
I die cut the steeple card base and adhered DP...I love the ombre of the Indigo & Pool colors The scrolled gates were die cut along with various flowers out of an assortment of purple/magenta hued papers. I subtly shaped them, sponged with purple ink, built the flowers, added purple stencil paint and sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds, chunky mixed media glitter and gems. I die cut the swirly leaves and sponged on Sprout. The hummingbird was stamped in Teal Zeal and sponged with an assortment of inks and glittered. I layered and adhered everything finally adding Stickles and the sentiment ticket. The hummingbird was adhered with double foam squares ;-)
This card DID NOT come out like I truly wanted it to...on top of being hard to photograph...any words of "crafty wisdom" are greatly appreciated ;-)

Oh, Nickie, this is gorgeous! I've loved your cards right from the start when you were a newbie, and you continue to totally rock each one! This is so beautiful with the gate and all the gorgeous flowers...and your hummer is so sweet! I do see the Flirty Flamingo, and tell me about photographing colors sometimes, right? Hehe! Beautifully done!! Hugs!

My goodness there is so much to love here! The layers of blossoms outside that gorgeous gate are truly lovely, and the hummer and swirly leaves add wonderful brightness. What a lovely card of encouragement!
