Hi! This card was made for today's Sketch Challenge! (It was posted early!)
This is going to be my Valentine to my husband. He and I love hummingbirds, and have a special story about his family and me that includes a fractored pelvis, food poisoning, a migrain and hummingbirds! LOL!
The designer paper is from Daisy D's! I had this last piece left and was saving it for a special card. I picked out the other card colors from this paper, Sage Shadow, Chocolate Chip and Regal Rose.
The Sage Shadow panel is stamped in Chocolate Chip with Canvas. The Regal Rose panel is stamped in Chocolate Chip with En Francias. The sentiment is from Short and Sweet. I added the little heart with markers.
The big flower is from Riot of Petals. It was stamped in Chocolate Chip onto Whisper White and cut to "fit" the panels. I used a dauber to sponge the center and the edges. It is raised on dimensionals.
Harrison the Hummingbird was stamped in Chocolate Chip onto Whisper white and colored in with SU! markers.

Awesome, your style is perfect for the sc challenge this week. Love the Dp and that big beautiful blossom stamp. I like the French verse bg and of course all the piercing and dots. I always look forwards to seeing your cards.

These colors are gorgeous together! You have a distinctive and beautiful style to your cards. Don't know where you get all the patience (and good eyesight!) to add all those dots!
