I sponged the taken with teal and basic gray on the whisper white cardstock; added not quite navy and black around edges and corners. Stamped the flower from inspired by nature in not quite navy; added shadows with sahara sand marker and just a few white highlights. Stamped the parlor print background in basic gray over the top of it all.

Hummingbird Flight

I made this brayered card using the hummingbird from elements of style, the flowers from inspired by nature and pocket silhouettes, and the flourish from flowering flourishes. I inked the flourish with versmark and lucky limeade, stamped and then embossed with clear powder. Inked hummingbird with versamark then rich razzleberry, stamped then embossed with clear powder. Masked sun and brayered daffodil delight with calypso coarl at the bottom corner, then calypso coral, rich razzleberry and elegant eggplant at the top. Sponged a little soft suede at the bottom. Stamped flowers in black; added white highlights and sahara sand shadows to the images. Colored hummingbird over with coral pen. Added modern label with punchies and pearls. Matted with black and lucky limeade.
