Happy Monday and it's time for the first
BBTB2 challenge of the 2011 year. Our fantastic Design Sister Karen chose the Hummingbird on the Lyrical Letters cartridge. I don't know why I found this simple cut so challenging, but it was, for me anyway. I think it's because there were no layers to work with. So I decided to cut it from white cardstock and then color it with my Copics. I cut the hummingbird at 3.25" and flipped the image. After I colored it I used irredescent glitter over the entire surface. I wasn't really sure what would happen to my colors after applying glue and glitter, but as you can see, it turned out fine. My flower image is cut from last year's Easter cartridge at 4". I put the top layer through my Cuttlebug using the Japanese Scales folder. All the papers I used on this card were scraps that have been laying in my scrap bin for ages. The sentiment is from Inkadinkado. If you want to play along with this challenge and don't have a hummingbird image feel free to use another bird. Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Hi Jeri, Your card was my favorite this week, but shhhhh, don't tell the rest of the team. Your hummingbird is beautiful!
Glad you got a laugh from my messing room. I am usually like you and clean up after each project. I used to clean it every time I scrapped - 0h for the good old days!
