Hummingbird Flowers

I was finally able to get the Hummingbird Thanks stamp and die set... I have been waiting for this for quite a while. 

So, it was time to go to work... 

I started with a versamrk stamped background using the same flower stamp set (Wild Rose) as I used on the rest of the card. That background was then heat embossed using clear detail embossing powder and then I used distress inks to cover the paper. I used a combination of turquoise and blue. The images are clearly visible through the ink. I also did the inside circle using shades of purple distress ink. 

The flowers, leaves and birds were all stamped, coloured and die cut. I cut a circle out of the background piece and place the purple piece on the base of the card. The background was foam taped and then the shaker was added. Inside the shaker, there are turquoise and purple sequins along with some white seed beads. 

Finally, the flowers, leaves and birds were adhered to the top of the card. The centre sections of the flowers were brushed with the Clear Shimmer Brush and I added a sparkly gem to the centre of some of the flowers. I also added a sentiment on top of the acetate. This was so much fun to create!
