Humming Around

Hello Nomad friends.  Happy weekend!!  Using some scraps here for a colourful birthday.  I'm using an old but NBUS set from sizzix and lots of scraps.  I actually bought this set not that long ago in a sale because it's full of fun frames and embellishments, like what it says on the packaging.  I actually wanted to use the coloured corrugated bit for the large scallop, but it was too small.  So I found a bit of textured handmade paper, which was also a tiny bit small, but you just shove the flower over to cover the mm missing.

 
The hummingbird was cut from a scrap of photo paper that has been coloured with brusho powders. A couple of die cut flowers with a fancy brad and another scrap, cut with another frame from the NBUS die set and stamped with a Rubber Dance sentiment from What a Girl Wants set.  Should use that one more often since we all deserve a magical birthday.  The nibbled arch dies are from Daisy Mae.

Thanks for dropping by.  Take care.  Hugz

    Indeed, all birthdays are magical aren't they, Gail, just for the fact the person lived to have another one and that's cause for celebrating! This is a delightful and colorful make, just perfect for the snippets challenge. And if there was ever a bit of colored scrap more perfect for cutting a hummingbird die, I'd like to see it! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Happy New Year! Hugs, Darnell

    A lovely card Gail - the colours on the birdie are stunning and everything else ties in so well! I saw your comments on the Gummiapan FB page. Good for you! I actually bought a Mystery Bag but am waiting until the time is right to use things,some of which do stretch the imagination - but that surely, as you rightly said, is what it's all about.

    Hugs
