A big congrats to Dawn, the newest Featured Stamper! After much browsing, I chose THIS card to case. I kept most of the layout, the hummingbird and similar colors, but I used different images, moved my greeting to a tag and added a big flower.
(These images & dies are a sneak peek from ODBD.) I stamped the smaller zinnia randomly across the bg using the two pinkish chalk inks then I embossed it w/ the Swiss dots folder. I stamped both sizes of zinnias w/ the same inks & die cut them w/ the matching dies and sponged the edges for more definition. The white band was die cut w/ a bracket border die & ribbon attached on top. I colored some thread w/ a Copic marker & used it to attach the tag. The sweet little hummingbird was colored w/ Copics, die & I added a little clear stardust pen to imitate the iridescent quality of their feathers. Some sequins were added to the zinnia center.
Congrats again, Dawn! Enjoy your week! Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog along with the Copics I used: The Write Stuff
