Simon Says Stamp Friend Like You Blog Hop Day 2

Simon is giving away a $25 coupon to one lucky commenter at every stop along the hop, so you’ll want join in for your chance to win. I’ll list the blog hop order at the bottom of this post for your convenience. Plus, there’s a free gift with any purchase from the Friend Like You release! See the graphic below. Also, don’t forget to check out Day 1 for more chances to win! My post for today is featuring the new Brilliant Hummingbird, and of course I had to pair it with some florals, so let’s go ahead and go through the details!

NOTE: all supplies are linked in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

I began by die cutting the hummingbird pieces from Neenah 110lb cardstock and ink blending those using Sweets, Sprout, Fairway, Surf and a tiny bit of Flannel. I went ahead and assembled the hummingbird and decided that I wanted the beak dark, so I cut that from some Forest cardstock, and added a tiny black gem for the eye.

The flowers and stems were die cut from Cotton Candy, Green Apple and black cardstock. I used the same inks for the ink blending on these pieces as well. I assembled the flowers and placed foam strips on those before stamping the sentiment onto black cardstock and heat setting that using Detail White Embossing Powder.

The background panel was cut using the Postage Stamp Edge Frames and gold splattered before adhering the stems with liquid glue and adding the flowers. The hummingbird was added with foam strips as was the sentiment. The panel was then adhered to the card base with foam tape to finish up.

That does it for this project! I hope you like it! Thanks again for joining me and I hope you have an awesome day!

    Hi, Tracy –

    I’m trying a third time… I wrote you a message to explain not being able to post, for some reason. Here I go after trying to work w/ password reset at WP.

    Dear Tracy – Wow! Your card is beautiful! And I think you’re the only person on day 2 of the hop to feature the pretty hummingbird! Great card!

    A devoted fan –

    This is just stunning! We have 2 hummingbird feeders on my deck and we get LOTS of visitors… they can be very aggressive, which surprised me! LOL But I guess you have to be when you have to eat 3 times your body weight every day! hee hee

      Thanks so much! Ahh, I’m jealous, I have two feeders as well and only have like 2-3 hummingbirds around. And those can get aggressive towards each other as well. I love watching them and it’s so fascinating when you can hear their wings basically buzzing. My Mom used to have a couple of feeders down in Alabama and she would have like 20+ hummingbirds!! It was crazy! Ok, I’ve talked your ear off enough! I hope you have a wonderful day!
