I blame the design team ladies of Our Daily Bread Designs for this card. They make such beautiful samples that I drool over and couldn't resist when an offer of free shipping came along in December (Disclaimer: I ordered so much I didn't even need the free shipping)...I'm also using a new Marianne die, the embossed oval one...isn't it pretty? I may save this and send it to my niece Liz since she had a bee balm flower in her yard last year and was trying to attract hummingbirds. She did get some ;)

Beautiful card, Polly. A touch of spring with the pussywillows and a touch of summer with the hummingbird feeding on the pretty blossom. Your coloring is exquisitely done.

Wow Pol this is so beautiful. I love all the different layers and elements. It reminds me of a tapestry or a picture found in a vintage drawing room. love it!

Oh, yes, Polly, the ODBD design team members are real enablers, aren't they? I just broke down myself the other day and got some things I wanted. I also love this hummer, and what a beautiful card! I love all your new things and also love the Marianne die. Stunning card, sweet friend! Warm hugs! xoxo

Gorgeous card! Lovely die and such a beautiful flower/bird. I used to have bee balm in my yard but it died out a while ago.
