Thoughtful Expressions

Love hummingbirds? I started to enjoy them about the time we started camping in the mountains years ago as they weren’t something I saw often growing up. My mother in law had a feeder on her porch and we’d sit on the swing watching them. I was amazed at just how close they would come to us. As we moved into our new home, I made sure to have one up in front of my dining room window so I could enjoy them. So when I saw the Thoughtful Expressions Stamp set (1628915)

It was one I thought would make some beautiful cards and it includes some sentiments that aren’t typical ones we find in sets. So today’s card uses this wonderful little hummingbird image to create a card I’m afraid we need more often than we’d like.

This card uses a watercolor wash for the hummingbird and then a layer of VersaMark Pad (102283/102193) and clear embossing powder from the Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (165679) to really make the little guy pop and give him depth.

The Thoughtful Designs Specialty Designer Series Paper (163317) adds a bit more shine to the project and a lovely shimmer and the Stylish Shapes Dies (159183) have been used to cut out both the paper and sentiment panels.

So what do you think? Can you see creating those cards you need using this stamp set like I can?
