Hi crafters! Happy Birthday and a Hummingbird for today's offering. I started with a piece of wisteria card and embossed it with the Brambled Rose embossing folder for texture. Next I used the Double Stitched Circles and cut a multi layered frame using white as the base of the frame and a thinner ring of Iris card. I added it to the centre of the card with a white base on mounting foam. Next I made two Triple Layered Fuchsias using Iris card for the top layers, wisteria for the middle and white as the base colour. I added eaves that were made of three different shades of green from my stash. I added the flowers to the top of the card so they were peeking out from underneath the frame's edge. Next I made the Triple Layered Hummingbird using tan card on top, Nutmeg card as the middle and wisteria as the base. I attached him to the other side of the frame. I used the Happy Birthday shadowed sentiment cut in Iris card with a white shadow base and glued it inside the frame. White, wisteria and iris card mats and layers ere used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue
FAB-YOO-LUSS!!
I am in love with the triple layering dies - but I think I may have mentioned that once or twice! The hummingbird is so beautiful. I have told myself that if my wish does come true and I receive any of the layering dies I so desperately want on Mothering Sunday, I will have no choice but to kick off my cardmaking for 2019 in spectacular style!
Happy Friday everyone

Such a pretty card and colours
Just watched Julia on Hochanda. She always does a great job and I personally will miss her and the CE gang.
I used this card as inspiration for a special birthday card. The triple layer dies are inspired. I am loving them even more than I thought I would.
Everyone, I hope your weekend is wonderful,
