Mornin' y'all! Ryan had is taekwondo belt test last night and it was pretty great--part of the test is sparring, both with other students and with the instructors, and at one point Ryan and another kiddo ganged up on the guy who runs the studio and it was HILARIOUS and I got a video of it to share with the hubs. And then Ryan got to break his first-ever board and he was so excited about that. I'm sad that he only has two more weeks with this martial arts studio before we move.
Anyway, I have a card to share today!
I had picked up Thoughtful Expressions a week ago, intending to make a hummingbird card, and then I went with a sea turtle instead so today is the hummingbird's time to shine. I used the Paper Players color challenge:
And my additional color is Moody Mauve. I inked up the images with Versamark and then Night of Navy ink, stamped, and embossed with clear EP so I could watercolor without the outlines smudging. My mom loves hummingbirds so after I move to Colorado this will probably be going to her : )
I finally got pictures of a GIANT stack of scrapbook layouts yesterday! So now I have a whole lot of draft posts ready to go for future Scrappy Mondays. I have this week and next in this house and then the movers get here to start packing up, so I'm trying to bust out a few more layouts (and cards) before that happens. I have six in progress layouts going right now and I'm hoping to start two or three more and get them finished. We'll see how I do.
That's it for me today, peeps. Have a great day!

I love that stamp set and you did a beautiful job of combing the colours. Thanks for playing along with The Paper Players.
ReplyDeleteChristy, what a lovely card. I love the way you used our colors and the sweet hummingbird is so pretty! My Mom loved hummingbirds. Made me get teary eyed. The pink flowers are so pretty, too! So happy you joined us at The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteWow Christy - you are crafting up a storm! Looking forward to seeing those scrapbook pages - I find yours so inspiring. A beautiful card today too and I love your 'choice' colour - it works beautifully with the florals and hummingbird, I'm sure your Mum will love it. Congratulations to Ryan on his test and board break - he clearly is a little powerhouse lol! Thanks for playing along with my colour challenge over at The Paper Players this week!
