I'm still in birthday card-making mode, so I changed up the stamps. Gold embossed an unknown clear stamp for the hummingbird. Mixed purple with gold embossing powder for the embossed flower. Wrought iron punched the corners to hold the vellum. The vellum is stamped in white craft ink on the back side of the paper. Prima flowers, embossed flowers and the hummingbird's eye are adorned with pearls. The base of the card is Curious Metallics Morphing Mauve. Hard to see the shimmer in the photo.
Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day!

Ohh so striking M! I'm loving your gold embossed humming bird and the flowers around him/her!! Lovely background paper too!!! Love the wrought iron corners!! BTW - you might like to look back at Anne Ryan's card directed at me - I left a VERY TELLING COMMENT on the first page - just before you did..and I think that the truth will soon come out - you just need to read the insight that I added to Anne Ryan's card via my comment. Poor Anne Ryan............. you might like to know the real 411.......................

Gorgeous embossing on vellum. I really need to try that, the ranger medium and paints you've sent. I need you, Divine Ms. M: I need you to show me how to use these things. I'll meet you and YLM at Starbucks. Do you mind? Fabulous card. Oh my!
