FMS 368 - Hummingbird Birthday

Hello and welcome back! Today's card is another sketch challenge. Here you go!

I figured since I've had some of these brand new (almost available!) stamp sets for a while, it was time to start using them! I got this one at On Stage last month and pre-ordered the matching framelits - so much easier than fussy cutting!

I nearly assembled the card after putting the elements together but decided that it needed a little something extra, so I dry embossed a layer to add to the front. I think it makes a big difference!

I'm still getting the hang of coloring with the Stampin' Blends, but this stamp set is perfect for them.

This card is for the sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.

Tomorrow's post will finally have my swap cards from On Stage in Orlando last month - a great way to end the year.

Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day!
