For today’s card, I used the Thoughtful Expressions Stamp Set, featuring a hummingbird, who is attracted to beautiful flowers.

I began by stamping the hummingbird and flowers in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock, and coloring them with Stampin’ Blends in five colors: Poppy Parade, Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Granny Apple Green, and Daffodil Delight. 

Hummingbird and Flowers

Prior to coloring, I used the Thoughtful Expressions Dies for cutting. I should point out that the stamp set is carrying over to the new catalog, but the dies are retiring. I discovered, after writing this post, that the dies are no longer available.

Two additional Thoughtful Expression Dies were used for the sentiment. “Where in the world would I be without you” is from the Thoughtful Expressions Stamp Set, Stamped in Memento Black Ink on Basic White Cardstock. Then, I attached it, with Dimensionals, to the die-cut of Soft Sea Foam Cardstock.

The layered sentiment was glued to a background, created with the Sketched Plaid Stamp, Granny Apple Green Ink, and Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″. This layer was glued to a Soft Sea Foam card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. 

After gluing my hummingbird and flowers in place, I added several Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins, and my card was complete.
