Supplies used on this card are:
Heavyweight white cardstock 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", folded in half, and a piece 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" to cut the frame
Colored cardstock - Blue, Green, Pale Plum, Yellow, Pale Blue
Patterned paper - Shades of Plum
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black; Ranger Distress Tumbled Glass, Mowed Lawn, Victorian Violet
Copic marker
Black ink pen
Liquid glue
Roll of foam adhesive tape
Sponge daubers
To start my card I cut out the various pieces of cardstock for the hummingbird and frame.
I then added some depth to the pieces by sponging on some ink to the bird and flower pieces and added a bit of color to the bird's beak with a dark yellow marker. Using the black ink pen I emphasized the eye of the hummingbird (not shown in photo).
I cut a strip of foam adhesive tape, cut it into narrower strips, and adhered it in pieces to the back of the oval frame.
To make the background for my "picture," I cut an oval from the pale blue cardstock. You could use any oval die which would fit -- I used the double-stitched oval because it was close at hand. The stitches were not going to show, so it didn't really matter.
I then constructed my card using the die-cut pieces and stamped the sentiment. Here it is again.

Pretty framing, color choices and coloring! I like the effect of having inset and exterior pieces instead of just putting foam tape on some pieces. The wide frame works beautifully for it. Great job! -Janet
