Bloomin' Hummingbird

Today would have been my Mother's 90th Birthday, she has been gone since 2006, but I think of her often and her love for birds!  Mom would sit and do crafts and watch the Birds at the Bird feeders.

 

This Hummingbird from Bloomin' Marvelous is looking for some nectar in these flowers. The Primrose Petals mat is punched with the 2 1/2 circle punch, sentiment stamped and then embossed with the Vine Street embossing folder.  I sanded the leaves for that vintage look.

Lay the mat on the Whisper White card base and use a pencil to trace a faint line at the bottom right edge of the circle.  This will be your guide to stamp the flowers and leaves that will peek out from under the circle.  Stamp the  Hummingbird within this circle.  Adhere mat to card base.  Randomly stamp flowers and leaves on a 1 X 5 1/4 piece of Whisper White card stock.  Stamp 2 extra flowers to snip on a scrap of Whisper White.
 
I tied Primrose Petals satin stitched ribbon on the strip and adhered to the card front. I added the snipped flowers with dimensionals and a few pearls.
