Humming Along
It is amazing what you can make with scraps. Thank you Just Us Girls for giving me that challenge. The challenge to make something from leftovers. Kind of like dinner what can you cook up with leftovers. You know how when you are card making, you stamp this piece and then think, “no, I don’t want that,” so it goes in the box along with all the other pieces you have stamped or cut thinking I will use this one day. Since this challenge is Leftovers, I decided to dig in my box and see what I could come up with to use.
The card base is Thick Whisper White and the background piece is also Thick Whisper White that has splashed with watercolor and stamped with an assortment of dots. It is adhered to the card base using Liquid Glue. The Humming Along hummingbird is colored Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. 
The little piece of grill looking texture behind the hummingbird is from the Hummingbird Framelites Dies and is adhered using Liquid Glue. The greeting is stamped in Balmy Blue on a scrap of Balmy card stock, Old Olive and White Twine is wrapped around the greeting piece a few time and tied in a bow then popped on the background piece using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. 
Three sequins have been adhered under the greeting. The Humming Along hummingbird (don’t you just love that bird) is then popped over the greeting panel. Several sequins are scattered over the background piece.
The inside sentiment from the Seasoned with Kindness stamp set is stamped in Blueberry Bushel on a panel of Whisper White that has a Balmy Blue watercolor wash in the center.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you liked my card. My wish as always is for you to find encouragement and inspiration for your own creations. Have a blessed day!

A flower was fussy cut from a scrap of the Share What You Love DSP and popped on the edge of the circle with a Linen Thread bow (I call it a Mary Deatherage bow, because she is the one who showed me how to make it, if there is another name, I just re-named it for to me it will forever be a Mary Deatherage bow) adhered with a Glue Dot. 
There are 6 raindrops in the circle but they are hard to see.
