I started with Very Vanilla and Versa Mark. I embossed the image with copper ep. I stacked the dies and popped them up on dimensionals. For the hummingbird I used sponge daubers and used Old Olive and Pink Pirouette.Cut her out. I used Crumb Cake and ran it through and ef using Early Espresso ink on the folder. Then I put my ribbon on and used some brown seed beads along the side. I mounted my image added the pearls and the bow. My base is Early Expresso.
I wish you could see this IRL. The embossing is beautiful. This card was kind of inspired by Karen Barber because she had a most beautiful card in the gallery last night using the same stamp. I went to her gallery and there isn't much she hasn't done with this stamp. So I wanted to do something she hadn't. This is what I came up with.
Thanks for looking and hope you like it.

A beautiful card, Sylvia. I really like how you used the image inspired by Karen, but gave it your own twist with the stacked panels. Lovely embossed bg too.
