WOW - I can't believe how fast August is going!!! This is my third Guest DT week for Keesh and I can't believe I only have one more to go!!!I really couldn't make up my mind with this sketch - my fabulous Holiday Line-Up stamps were calling out to me - but I also wanted to play with my as yet uninked set, Spring Song. So what's a girl to do??? Make 2 completely different cards using the one sketch - LOL.
I've gone for the soft look of Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss and Chocolate Chip for Soft Summer. I used my blender pen and inkpads for the flowers and my Touch and Copic markers for the bird. I cut the oval out using my nesties - after making sure to trim the wings so I could pop them above the nestie and not cut them off! I've also layered the main flower for some extra dimension. Some beautiful Bella Rose DP added to the garden feel. I haven't added a sentiment - it's one of those cards that just speaks for itself and can have soo many uses!!
My second card is a lot brighter!!! I've used my SU markers and my pale blue Copic marker to bring the colours of the Ski Slope DP to life on the snowmen. Instead of flowers I've added some punched and layered snowflakes with a rhinestone in the centre. A fairly simple card but soooo much fun - I LOVE these guys!!!

Both your cards are terrific. Especially love the colours and design of the snowmen.
Gorgeous hummingbird card, Debbie. I love the effect of the wing going past the edge, and popping up one of the flowers... gives this lots of dimension. And I ADORE your snowman card. That stamp set was made for you!
I hope things are easing up a bit for you. I'm still swamped, but trying to get out from under. glub glub.
TTYL,

Oh Debbie, how do you do it? Fabulous cards.
WOW, Debbie, love both card, but I'm totally floored by the way you've coloured that hummingbird. It should be in one of those Audubon books.
Hugs.
