This is for today's inspiration challenge, taken from Polyvore. I almost got caught up in there playing around with their design your own outfit feature, but here is what caught my eye: http://www.polyvore.com/flower_art_w...g?id=100804137
I'm ready for flowers, sun and warm temps that stick around for more than one day! We have had a few "teaser" days but then we drop again, and today our area is getting a little light snow again.
So.... I am sharing a card I made with the newly released stamps and dies from Our Daily Bread designs. I stamped the bee balm image on watercolor paper and then watercolored it and cut it out. The hummingbird is also watercolored but to cut it out I used the new ODBD custom die to do so. I then mounthed them on the new custom daisy chain bg die and framed that in a SB labels 28. The paper is also released today and is called Blooming Garden Collection.
Thanks so much for looking and have a wonderful weekend!

Wow, this is beautiful with the white frame bg which gives the impression of a lattice for your spray of flowers and hummingbird - then the eye goes to the bg, which is like a garden on a card! So lovely.

Truly impeccable and realistic painting of your bee balm and hummingbird, Grace, on this gorgeous card. The filigreed "window" makes a lovely backdrop.

What a beautiful garden you have created here! Love the Bee Balm against the 'trellis'. I really like the background papers you choose; such warm inviting colours. TFS

This is just beautiful! I love the white trellis against the tonal bg. It's the perfect setting for your sweet little hummer. TFS
