I made this card using the Midnight Madness Sketch #71 - another great sketch!
A friend of mine at work recently lost her husband, and she told me that hummingbirds remind her of him. I thought I would finally tackle the brayer and the Elements of Style set - two things that seem to never work out for me. I like how they turned out.

Nancy~ this is so beautiful, and will totally touch your friends heart. Love the musical notes in the bg. Every element is perfection, and your heart sings thru this. LYMIMIMI

Nancy, these MMSC are really working for you. This is MOST BEAUTIFUL!! I love hummingbirds too. I don't know that I could come close to creating something with these techniques. It's really a STUNNER!! And I love the musical score b/g, the swirls, your brayering, ribbon and flower. My gosh, this has it all and then some!! I hope I can get to mine soon. Great job!! Hugs - pam
