Humming Along

It was great having a day off!  And it was even better because the weather cooperated.  It was gorgeous today.  I only wish it would stay this temperature all summer long.  Upper 70s, sunny and a slight breeze.  Perfect in my eyes.  There was a few errands I had to run and then just stuff around the house. 

The best thing was that I was able to video with Megan today!  She's in Vienna, Austria until tomorrow.  I felt bad because it was was raining all day for her.  Not much fun sightseeing in the rain, but she made do. It won't stop her too much. 

We made this card last night at club.  I wasn't too excited over this hummingbird, but it has definately grown on me.  It's perfect to color using the Stampin' Blends or even the watercolor pencils.  

Instead of the normal card fold, I added another score on the front to create this extra flap.  Just score on the 1 1/2 inch line.  The front square is adhered to this flap by using Tear & Tape.  I was afraid regular Snail wouldn't be strong enough.  

The floral piece is vellum from Floral Romance DSP.  My first card I adhered the vellum directly to the Fresh Fig.  After letting it dry overnight, I could till see the Fine Tip Glue line.  Yuck!  That wouldn't do.  So, I added the Whisper White underneath. It covered the glue lines and you can definately see the flowers better.  

Take a look at the whole card when it is open.  I added the two leaves on the inside so it wouldn't be too bare.  This was a fun card to make.  I will miss this hummingbird and flower.
