~~~ Hummingbird Feeder ~~~

Hi Y'all! The hummers love feeding on the lantana we have planted all over the yard.( I just wish those lil dare devils would hurry up and visit us ! ) I picked a bloom the other day and looked at almost all my carts with flowers on them and couldn't find a bloom that resembled lantana, so I made my own! I used a mat from Cindy Loo and placed one on top of the other, in different directions and welded them together and got the look I wanted,as subtle as it is.I used a small sun punch for the middle of each flower and added a drop of yellow stickles.I used Home Accents for the hummer and the stem and Walk in my Garden for the leaves. Used several border punches, added some beeeeeeuteeful Crinkle Ribbon and Bakers Twine, from http://craftspotbykimberly.blogspot.com/. added some buttons and pearls and gave the entire card a spritz of Glimmer Mist. The paper I have been using is from the Watercolor Bouquet Collection, by KnCompany. Thanks for taking a peek!!!

~~Hummingbirds in Flight ~~

Good morning Y'all.....Happy Friday!! Dan and I have really enjoyed watching all the beautiful lil hummers that have taken over our yard in the last few weeks. I guess they are fueling up for the big flight to Central America, because Dan has had to make food and fill the feeders several times a week. Those lil buggers are SO territorial and we both get a big kick out of watching them hoovering and dueling over the feeders.We have about a dozen pink crepe myrtle trees and they perch in them all during the day. Hence, the inspiration for this card. I used Home Accents for the hummingbirds and Home Decor for the branch. I used stickles on the flowers and then sprayed the entire card with Smooch Spritz and boy did that make a big difference ! I added the pearls and there you have it, my ode to the precious Hummingbird! Thanks for stopping by ad I hope y'all have a great weekend !!!
