For Lori's Falliday Fest Challenge - bird(s) and/or feathers ~ used a local favorite
For Alphabet Challenge - Letter H - hummingbird, Happy Birthday
I stamped on watercolor paper and did a watercolor wash in the background. Then I watercolored the images, including the hummingbird. I applied the glass bed glitter gel to the bird. After it dries, the color underneath shows through and there is a ton of sparkle. This product was introduced to me by SCS'er Art Deco Diva ~ Karen. She sent me a card on which she used the gel and it is so amazing and beautiful. I'm still learning how to apply it. I also used glitter pen on the flowers and leaves which doesn't show in the photo. Popped the panel up on Dimensionals. Fun card to make with two terrific challenges. TFL

Oh Diane, this is such a gorgeous birthday card my friend! I love the colors you used and all the sparkle and shine too. You did a terrific job applying the glass bead glitter gel to this little bird. Your watercoloring is so lovely around and in the images. You rocked the letter H challenge my friend! ~Karen.
