I pulled out my Humming Along bundle to make this birthday card for a fabulous friend who loves Hummingbirds. I embossed the images with Silver embossing powder on Vellum cardstock. Then I colored the back of the vellum with my Stampin’ Blends.

I was thrilled that I was able to achieve a watercolor look with the Blends. I then used the Hummingbird Framelit dies to cut them out. I found some of the Retired Galvanized Metallic Paper to layer on the card base – you can easily substitute a piece of Silver Foil Sheet dry embossed with the Subtle embossing folder for the layer. I first stamped the sentiment on Whisper White cs layer and then ran it through the Big Shot with the Subtle embossing folder.

I glued the layers building the card front then added the flower and hummingbird. I traced the sentiment with Wink of Stella to add some sparkle.
