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!
