Well I guess my card doesn't get posted just because I 'think' I posted it! LOL
I am playing at Papertrey Ink with the Above & Below Make it Monday by Lizzie.
You should have seen my desk while making this card...I kept pulling out one stamp set after another, stamping and cutting and nothing was coming together for me. Do you ever have one of those days? After cutting several different images from different stamp sets, I finally put them all away, stepped back and tried again. This time I was thinking of the hibiscus flower and sweet little hummers that are now flitting around my yard and coming to the feeder.
I do like how this came together and I used fun leaf shapes too!

Heart Hugs, friends!

Beautiful card Colleen! Your flowers and hummer are colored just beautifully, and your perseverance paid off! Totally hear ya about a card just not coming together as that's how I felt about this challenge too! Oh well, all's well that ends well!! I'm enjoying the real life hummers at my feeder right now too...SO fun to watch!! :0)
Just as lovely as can be, Colleen! The flowers are gorgeous and very colorful! Love the pretty hummingbird, too!
Oooh! so happy you stuck with it because this card turned out beautiful!! This is a super pretty technique! I love that stamp set and the colors you used!! : )
Colleen this is fabulous! Love the flowers and the hummer. The colors are so tropical and beautiful. I had the same problem with my card. I worked two days on it. I was ready to pitch it all in the trash. lol
It sure did all come together beautifully in the end! Those flowers look amazing with the tropical leaves and the placement is wonderful! Such a sweet hummingbird. I never get tired of looking at those hummers!
Wonderful tropic feel, Colleen! Beautiful layout and colors. Love the photo layout shoot too!
Oh this is fabulous, Colleen! I really love the stamp sets you used for this Tropical-Paradise feeling Birthday card :-)
Beautiful card- love those hibiscus & hummer
Beautiful design and I love those hummingbirds, both on the card and on the desk. Sometimes it's wise to walk away when nothing works. You come back with a fresh perspective, just like you did here.
Gorgeous design Colleen. This is such a great layout that you could use over and over with different images. I need to give this a try. I LOVE your combination of flowers, leaves and hummers. Beatiful, soft colours too. Totally inspired, my friend! xx
Your card is so cheerful and fun that it prompted me to order the Some Like It Hot stamps & dies on the sale this week! Thanks for the inspiration!
Bright and pretty flowers! Love how they frame the sentiment!
