I actually wanted to make a card today that was fairly simple and could go through the reg mail in a reg envelope..... so this is what I came up with. also my first time spotlighting.
F4A14, make a card inspired by something you collect, I have a small collection of Hummingbirds.
QFTD11, Congrats to scrappigramma2 for winning the crown this week, as I strolled through her fabulous galley I came across this card and thought it would be perfect to case to combine both challenges.
Tonight is my last graduation ceremony for the year, and then comes summer......
Thanks for looking

What a lovely simple card inspired by your hummingbird collection!! Yes, it's a challenge sometimes to make a card that actually goes through the mail easily, isn't it?? I'm always wanting to add layers and embellishments that make it hard on the USPS!!! Your spotlighting looks awesome. And this is a wonderful tribute card, as well. Super work!!
