Hello, Well for the IC today there were fingernails painted in EVERYthing imaginable even little birdies. I had this Steampunk Hummer for a while and decided that it is a birdie plus it would make a great guy card, especially for my hubby since he loves hummers (and birds in general). I was lazy and used an embossing folder for my bg. I painted it black after embossing and wiped off the excess leaving black in the crevices. Then I finger painted with my Inka Gold in gold and copper so that I could just rub on a little. I let it all dry thoroughly then rubbed it to a shine. For my Hummer, I Copic'ed him in sort of hummer colors with some copper and gold too. My heart is embossed with a die from Susanna's Custom and also die cut with Little B's "love you" words. I decided to die cut the black mat too to let the metal show through but I think that was a mistake looking at it now.
The bg is a bit busy but I hope he likes it anyway. Here is my inspiriation from the Pinterest board...love birds.
Thanks for looking!

Robin, I'm so sorry I didn't see this card earlier this morning, because it's definitely one of my favorites. I love all your gear/clock work/steam punk cards -- they're terrific! The color on the wings of the hummer - beautiful! What an outstanding coloring job on this card. I agree with you, I think your husband will love it! Fav'd!
Wow! Your dh is gonna love this! I know I do. I am always amazed with your coloring. I love every little detail on this. Your embossed bg looks great too!

Wow Robin, this is amazing! What a super background. And the stylized hummer fits perfectly with the metallic look and I love the bright colours you used. Your husband will love it!
