Hello there,

My Sentiment Focus inspired card measure 4 by 6 inches.  Why deviate from the usual A2 size card you ask, well just take a look and you will see.

 

 

The A2 card just won’t fit the two hummingbirds holding the banner.   That’s why.   Hehe!

My process:

• Cut white card stock into 4 by 6 inches card base.
• Lay Large Lotus Pattern stencil on card front, secure with washi tape and apply a light coat of Wild Honey using inking tool.
• Die cut hummingbirds (Hero Arts Paper Layering Hummingbird Pair) twice using watercolor paper.
• Paint hummingbirds with watercolors.  Let dry.  Use black marker to draw eyes and use white gel pen to add white of eye.
• Apply Clear Wink of Stella to hummingbirds die cuts.
• Stamp birthday banner (Hero Arts Papel Picado Banners) with Ombre Ink – Light to Dark Purple on white card stock.  Closely trim.
• Adhere trimmed banner on purple glitter paper with glue.  Let dry, trim.
• Adhere banner and hummingbird dies onto card base with foam adhesive as shown.

Here’s a close up so you could see the shimmers on the birds.
