Hi Craft addicts! Well this card took me a bit longer than usual but am pleased with how it turned out! If you want to read more then there is some after the pic! I first of all used the largest of the DL square hole die (I think it is from Lisa Horton) and cut two of them out in white card. To make the card, I scored just under the top set of holes and added some red liner tape to the space and stuck the two pieces together. I then added some Wild Spider Self adhesive sheet to a piece of Lynda Chapman's Black card and using the smaller outline and frame dies from Lisa Horton's Slimline Cracked Frame die, took the backing sheet off and attached it to some card - I used blue card as I thought I would leave some of the spaces without the flowers but as I didn't you could use any card! I then repeated the same thing with a sheet of Toni Darroch's Stamps by Me It's all about you flower 8" x 8" paper pad - thinking about it after spending some time paper piecin...

You are my sunshine... hummingbird and flowers A6 white card - Day 211 of my 365 day challenge Hi Craft addicts! Well today's card is day 211 of my 365 day challenge and I have made it using Mel Heaton's Signature collection dies and stamps for the focal point along with a Spellbinders background die. How I made this card:- I first of all stamped out the Hummingbird and flower spray onto white stamping card (the flowers on a pre-cut notched label) using Versafine Onyx Black ink and let them dry a bit. I then coloured both in using alcohol markers and Zig Clean Color pens - I tried to make the Hummingbird's wings look a bit translucent using pale colours - blues and yellows and then brown and orange for the body part. The flowers were filled in using Oranges, reds and yellows along with a couple of shades of green for the leaves. I set them aside and cut out the main background frame using a Spellbinders die in black card and stuck it on to the front...
