Hummingbird Cross Stitch Finsihed

Well I finally finished the hummingbird! I told my husband that I would be done by Thanksgiving and I actually finished before that! I can't wait to give this to my gram, she has been waiting about five years for me to finish it.

Have a great day!

Hummingbird card

I've seen many beautiful cards made using a brayer for the inked background. I thought I would give it a shot since it doesn't look that hard...boy was I wrong! I had a heck of a time getting the background for this card! I defiantly need more practice but I think that it turned out great for my first try. =) I used white ink first to stamp the images and then went over them with black ink. It gives a shadow and I think it makes the hummingbirds wings look like they're moving. I used the Stampin up! Dream A Little stamp set.

Have a great day!

It's A Party~Challenge

It's time for another challenge at Dustin Pike! I love these because I actually make cards instead of buying them. I have tons of projects I want to do...I just never seem to sit down long enough to do them all! Click here to find the challenge. I love love love that Dustin has hummingbird images! They are my grams favorite!!! Here is the birthday card we made for her. My little one wrote her a note on the inside. =) I just colored with prisma's and goo gone and then added stickles to the flowers and the throats of the hummingbirds. I really want to use markers but when I do it looks like a kid colored them!

Hummingbird card for gram

Another hummingbird card to send to my gram. It's taking me forever to get her cross stitch done so I hope this will make her smile till I finally get it done! I really like the little bird so I use him alot! Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Hummingbird Crosstitch

Hummingbird card

I love the Dream a Little stamp set from Stampin Up! It is so cute and I love hummingbirds! I made this one for my gram.

Humming Bird Cross Stitch

I have been working on this poor hummingbird forever! I hope to get him done by this fall so I can give him to my gram. When I bought the pattern I had no idea that it was 9 pages!! This thing is huge! But it is so pretty in person, the photos don't do it justice!

Tea Light card

I made this one for my gram. I saw one online and looked everywhere for a pattern to make one but couldn't find one. So I made one with my Cricut. She loved it! I have the cut file if anyone's interested. Just make sure you use battery operated tea lights!! Fire and paper don't mix well!
