Today's Colors: Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green. Dessert: Summer's last hurrah.
I stamped the bird and water colored using blender pens and ink pads, then fussy cut him, added rhinestone for eye. Stamped image again on vanilla cs, punched out flowers adding rhinestone centers, cut using circle. Layered off-center on cabana circle and popped up on dp and leaf embossed bg. Finished off using limeade ribbon and cabana button. Thanks for stopping by! ~Roberta

Roberta, this is just beautiful. Gosh! I love the leafy embossing in the background that gives the feeling this bird is up in the tree branches I adore the double circles and the delicate flowers you added to the tree stamp. But it is this button with lacy ribbon tied through it that is such a delightful finishing touch on your gorgeous card. You sure used this week's colors beautifully my friend! Hugs! ~Karen.

Roberta, I love everything about this card! The two circles--not centered--is so artistic. Love the coloring on the pretty bird, love the flowers with their rhinestone centers, and the leaf-embossed layer, too!

So lovely Roberta! The challenge colors work beautifully for your bird and I love the punched flowers with the rhinestone centers. Terrific card design as well plus that embossed background is perfect for your card! 😉

So pretty Roberta! I love the combo of the embossed background and the circles. Hummingbirds are some of my favorite birds and you did a beautiful job coloring this one!

What a very pretty card. Love the little bird and the way you have highlighted her with the little stitched circles. Looks great against that lovely embossed background.

A beautiful, precious hummer Roberta!!! I too thought of hummingbirds as some of our last days of summer. It makes me sad to see some of the last ones flying through. Thanks for sharing your card.
