Isabella's Sketchbook Challenge Thank You Hummingbirds

What do you think?  Aren't these Isabella's Sketchbook hummingbirds gorgeous!!  I loved coloring them and they practically colored themselves.  Over at Sunday's Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenges  we are to put an animal on our card. I so wanted to use this card but I had to wait for today.  I couldn't help but think, as I made this, of how much God blesses us with beauty to enjoy.

Our Isabella's challenge this week is to design a card/project using this sketch.

I started by coloring the birds with my Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol.  Before taking it out of the  Spellbinders Ovals, I sponged the surface with SU Sage Shadow ink giving it a white border. Using my circle punches I created a sentiment, with Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Poppies and Greetings, for the top of the oval and then added a little rhinestone to the top for interest. My BG was made with a MS Punch Around the Page set.  I just love it!

We would love for you to join us this week.  Link your card to Isabella's Sketchbook Challenge blog with your card that is made with one of Isabella's images.  She has several new ones available HERE and there is also a free one that is just beautiful!!!  The DT has done an outstanding job with this sketch and you might like to take a tour around their blogs.

Remember one lucky random winner will receive 2 free digis of their choice and the "I Won" badge to sport on their own blog.

Today's Blessing:  I spent the day making bookmarks for my friend to give to her Sunday School class.  They are studying Numbers.  She had made each of her 44 members a tassel to put on the bookmark.  The scripture is Numbers 15:39a " It shall be a tassel for you to look at and remember all the commandments of the LORD, so as to do them and not follow after your own heart and your own eyes,"  What a get reminder of your study and what a privilege to do something for my friend.  Friends are such a blessing from the Lord.

Thanks for stopping by,

Randi
