Hummingbird Happy Birthday

I made this card tonight for the "Ways to Use it" challenge on SCS. The challenge was to "stick it", use a pin on your card, sewing, sewing themed etc etc etc. So this is what I came up with. I really like this card. I may have to make a few more of these to use for my clients. We'll see. It took me about 45 min to make the card, so it was a little labor intensive.

Stamps: Mark's Finest Papers Pears & Hollyhock, Flourishes & Frame
Ink: Always Artichoke, Pear Pizzaz, Daffodil Delight
Paper: Snow Storm Smooth, black, Pear Pizzaz, Daffodil Delight
Misc: Prismas, baby oil, pin, crystals, ribbon from Mark's Finest Paper, MS Border punch,

Have a wonderful evening. Hopefully it's not storming where you are like it is here!

Happy Stamping!
