I'm so far behind this week...I had a bad headache for THREE DAYS (for Pete's sake! One woulda been plenty!) so I missed this week's CC and SC. So I combined 'em for this card. This might be my mom's Mother's Day card, not sure yet. She does love hummingbirds...
My main image worked better horizontal so I flipped the sketch. I put a rhinestone brad in the center of the flower just because I could. The rhinestone doesn't show up right in the photo, it's actually that real light blue color and matches the rest of the card pretty well. I stamped the hummingbird on a scrap, used sponge daubers to apply color, and then cut her out and adhered with dimensionals. Then the beak got all messed up so I had to do all that AGAIN, but at least the second time it worked like it was supposed to.
I tore the edge of the Purely Pomegranate cardstock where it's folded back. Need to use sticky strip under the corner, dumb thing won't stay stuck when I tell it to :p

Christy, I'm glad you're feeling better. This is really lovely. You've balanced both the colors and this sketch really well. Wonderful card.
