Sparkly Hummingbird

Hey & Happy Monday!

Another weekend has flown by and I really don't know where the time is going! Sunday saw me at 29 weeks pregnant and I thought I'd share a selfie I took on Saturday morning...


I'm getting quite a large bump now & things are getting quite awkward at times! Today I have been totally wiped out, I was only up 3 hours before I needed a nap and I hadn't really done anything to wear myself out. Hence my lateness in creating a card & posting today...




I made this simple sparkly hummingbird card this evening. The bright colours have certainly lifted my spirits and energy levels slightly. I chose to work with the Paradise - Hummingbird stamp set as I feel it has been some what neglected since it's release & I decided to pair it with Background Builders: Chevrons which has also seen some neglect! 




This creation fits perfectly into the "Just Us Girls" challenge seen HERE. It's been AGES since I joined in with the challenges over there and they've changed the layout a little. This week your creation is inspired by words and the word is BIRD.




That's all from me today, I think it'll be an early night and hopefully I'll have a bit more energy tomorrow to accomplish a few tasks in the studio! Until then, thank you for stopping by today :)

Supplies
Card Stock: White from stash
Ink: Avery Elle Aquamarine, Raspberry & Mimosa. VersaFine Onyx Black
Accessories - Sparkly Embossing Powder & Foam Adhesive.

  8. Like the fresh colours! The sparkle makes the bird super!
    And what is that going quick with two.... You look good, but maybe that is because I can't see how tired you are? Take care and take the time you need, it's important for you to keep up with those two! Hugs, Gerrina

  13. That selfie brings back memories... I have one just like this (photo that is) but with only one baby in there I wasn't overly tired. You should take it easy though!
