Thinking of You

Dang... it's been HOT as HOT can be around here all week. Storms yesterday evening and this morning too. Time to stay in and get inky! That's just what I did and I created this little number for this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge.


I used a delicate leafy rubber stamp by IO for the two tall rectangles in the sketch. A scrap of patterned paper for the horizontal rectangle and retired Poppystamps geraniums for the circle portion. I topped those blooms with a sweet hummingbird by PPP. I colored him to match the little ruby throated fella that has been frequenting our feeder. 


Off we go to the FMS gallery. 
Thanks so much for stopping by, I appreciate it!

Absolutely perfect! Oh my, this guy might belittle but he sure makes a big statement! His coloring is amazing and he's seems pretty at home in that pretty Geranium.

What a pretty card, Lisa! I love the leafy branches. Your hummingbird is lovely. Thank you for playing with my sketch this week at FMS!

Your card is so pretty, Love the geraniums with the cute little hummingbird. I have that hummingbird set and like how you colored it. Day before yesterday I noticed that my hummingbird feeder was out. I felt bad because it's been so hot. I hurried and made fresh nectar. So, I'm sure they are happy now.
Hope you have a good week and try to stay cool.

This is so lovely, Lisa! You've got a great eye for this sketch. The brilliant red geraniums are gorgeous with the beautiful hummer. It's been super hot and humid here as well. Perfect weather for crafting inside.

Lisa, I just love the colors on your card today! Your stamped sketch elements are a fantastic idea and of course I adore that little 'fella' too!
Thanks so much for playing along with FMS again - we love it when you do!

Those delicate ferns make a wonderful background for this beautiful geranium and darling hummer, Lisa! It's been hot here too and we are in for another day of it.

What a fabulous way to interpret this sketch--I predict a winner! Those blooms look so real, no wonder that little hummer is attracted to them!

I knew before I read your post that the branches were IO! Such a creative and beautiful use of the sketch, Lisa! Hope you get some better weather soon. Our hottest days are gone, at least for the moment--yah!

Wonderful! I adore this card! Don't know which I love more -- the red geraniums or the sweet little hummingbird. Sometimes it's nice to have a reason to stay inside and craft!

Stephanie Lanzalotto said...

Oh Lisa! I just love, love, love this! Fabulous take on the sketch. That little hummingbird is the cutest and I love the way you nestled him among those beautiful flowers. The colors are wonderful as is that little paper strip. I really love this card! Can you tell?
