Watercolor Hummingbird 

Hello Junkies!

Any hummingbird lovers out there?  I love everything about hummingbirds.  Who doesn’t, right? And did you know there are approximately 366 species of these tiny little wonders?  

Today, in celebration of these tiny feathery jewels, I’m sharing a card made using the watercolor hummingbird stamp, a circle punch or circle die, embossing folder and some card stock.

Supplies:

Lavender and yellow card stock

Embossing folder of your choice

Black or Clear embossing powder

Distress oxide sprays or you could use a faux watercolor designer paper

Watercolor hummingbird stamp

Glue & scrap piece of ribbon

Black ink pad

Heat tool 

Optional enamel embellishments

Tape

Step 1: Create multi-colored background. I used distress oxide sprays, spritzed with water, and changed colors. I used a heat tool to dry the ink after each spray and spritz. Be sure this is completely dry before you continue adding colors.

Step 2: Stamp the hummingbird with black ink, sprinkle on black or clear embossing powder (either one works) then heat set.  Cut out or punch this out in a large circle. See card.

Step 3: While you have your ink out, Stamp your birthday sentiment on a piece of yellow card stock (5.5 x 1 inch or size needed for your sentiment) set it aside.

Step 4: Cut a piece of lavender card stock approximately 5.25 x 4.  Use a light tack tape and tape your circle onto the lavender and put both in your embossing folder and run them through your device (Big Shot, Cuttlebug, Gemini, etc…).  Note: You aren’t permanently attaching the circle. 

Step 5: Let’s put this together.  

- Make a small hole at the top of your circle, loop ribbon through, then attach ribbon to the back of the lavender piece with tape.  You only need the ribbon long enough to hang a short distance down onto your card. see photo.

-Add glue to the back of the lavender and center on the yellow base. 

-Add glue and attach your sentiment.

-Add enamel dots or gems.

I hope you’ll get out your sprays, embossing folders, punches and stamps and give this one a try.

Happy Crafting!    ~AJ~
