I have some SU! business that is important to tell you, check it out at the end of this post!!

I told you that this last weekend I participated in a Get Together held by North Carolina SU! Demo's (I presented my Elephant card), one of the projects was doing this Michele Zindorf Card using Elements of Style.  I really like how it came out, I hope you do too!!

I stamped the Green background using Old Olive classic ink and sponged the edges using the Old Olive and just a little bit of the Not Quite Navy classic ink.  The cirle is a Sizzix Die-Clear Circle, bigz Die.  I then sponged Bashful Blue over 3/4's of the circle making sure to reach the middle.  I then sponged the Not Quite Navy, gradually gettting lighter as it got towards the center.  I stamped the image with Black ink and then colored in using Blush Blossom, Old Olive and the White Gel pen.  The hummingbird was stamped using Old Olive and then I put some of the Not Quite Navy right over the tail and the head into the neck.  This gives it some dimension.  After I stamped it, I went over the wing tips using Always Artichoke.  Enough of how I made it, here is the picture!!

One more thing!   With the retiring colors going out, there has been a rush on ordering them.  SU! is going to do their best to keep backorders down, but they also are running out of certain colors.  They will be replacing (as needed) textured cardstock with the smooth paper.  There will be no increase in price.  As for the re-inkers, they will allow you to order replacements the month of May, but once June arrives they will only be available while supplies last!!    Don't wait to place your order!!   Contact me or go to my SU! website to place your order!! 


Have a Great Stamping Day!
