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.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card, Lisa! I love the leafy branches. Your hummingbird is lovely. Thank you for playing with my sketch this week at FMS!
ReplyDeleteYour 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.
ReplyDeleteHope 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.
ReplyDeleteLisa, 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!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for playing along with FMS again - we love it when you do!
