Hi! This card was made for today's Limited Supply Challenge that has been changed to the Free For All Challenge: Textures.
I have been having a very difficult time this week, what with Markie's near miss, Markie's Science Fair Project, new business work and my RA kicking up into full gear. I swear, you'd think I was OLD or something! LOL (For those of you who don't know..I AM old! LOL)
For Texture I embossed the Pensacola Sand panel with a Spellbinders Impressabilities die. I added ribbon, cording, charm, brad, and gem stones for extra texture! For my Seldom Used Color I used Virdian Leaf which is a CLOSE second to Glorious Green...Its just a tad darker. However, I RARELY use this color, and it's PERFECT for hummingbirds!
The hummingbird was stamped onto Pensacola Sand and cut out. Next, I sponged it's neck/belly with Violete and Boudoir Blush. The body was LIGHTLY sponged with Chartreuse. I finished by sponging the Virdian Leaf around the edges.
The set is a Sneak Peek!
Finished card size: 5 1/4" square
Total Time to complete: 49 minutes ( I had to stop and take some meds...The cold is really affecting me this year.)

Wow! Love all the texture! I really thought that hummingbird was going to be a spellbinders or punch. Awesome job on cutting him out. (mine would be missing a beak)
