For our Anniversary, I wanted to make DH a card that is not traditional; because he likes hummingbirds and green, I decided to go this route.
This is the new Pear Pizzazz and taken in the morning sunshine, it looks more Olive than it really is. But I like it anyway, paired with Ballet Blue.
The shine is achieved with Crystal Effects and the bird has additional sparkle with Dazzling Diamonds sprinkled over the CE before it set. I used chalks and blender pen to colour. There are some leaves versamarked on the long green strip.
Thanks for looking!

Wow and Wow again! The chalks, the dazzling diamonds and the crystal effects make this humming bird just dazzling in that sunshine! That ribbon and hardware are totally beautiful too! You have really created an exceptional card! I bet he loved it! TFS ( and of course it is going in my faves!)

What a wonderful anniversary card - Happy Anniversary to you and DH (or happy belated if it's past). That hummingbird is gorgeous - the crystal effects and dazzling diamonds really did the trick. I like the effect on the flowers also. Your wrapped ribbon is so pretty done this way. TFS.
