Hummer In the Morning

Today I'm sharing a Thinking of You card I recently made and used for a sympathy card. 

I used a wooden stamp that I scanned so that I could adjust the sizing.  This is Inkadinkado's 'Hummingbird Morning Glory'.

After printing the image about 3" in size, I used Prisma colored pencils for coloring the image. I colored several layers to obtain the dark tones and then used Gamsol and a Q-tip to carefully blend each area of color. 

The decorative edge was achieved using the Tattered Lace Hemstitch Square die set.  I used the die on the completed image and on the plaid background matting.  Next I secured both layers onto a top fold white card base.  The sentiment is stamped and die cut from Sweet 'n Sassy's, Script Sentiments.  I secured it at the bottom right corner of the card front.  Lastly I added the light lavender organza ribbon and bow at the fold of the card to complete the design.
