Clean And Simple: Hummingbird Birthday

Hello, Gemma here for a new Clean and Simple post. I’ve used the Slimline Floral Cover die on my CAS card today. This pretty and intricate die looks beautiful with a clean and simple look.

I began by die cutting the Slimline Floral Cover die twice from white card and layering them together for dimension.

On my slimline card base (3.5 x 8.5 inches) I blended on Salvaged Patina distress oxide ink.

Next, I die cut a vellum panel, using a die from the Slimline Peekaboo Window die set. I adhered this behind the floral panel, before adding them to the card base. The vellum helps to diffuse the colour underneath.

I stamped images from the Hummingbird Thanks stamp set and coloured them with copic markers (R81, R83, R85, BG000, BG11, BG13). I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

I found the perfect stitched rectangle for my sentiment from the Storybook 2 die. I die cut it three times from white card. On one of the pieces, I stamped a sentiment from Birthday Friends with Versafine Onyx Black ink, then heat embossed with a clear embossing glitter.

I adhered the three layers together for dimension, then added to the centre of my slimline card. Finally, I used foam tape to add the hummingbirds either side of the sentiment panel.

Thank you for stopping by today!
