Hello and welcome to Kylie Bertucci's International Winners Blog Hop! Today I'm joining Kylie Bertucci and a group of very talented demonstrators for a blog hop around the world. I'm so excited to be participating in the Top Ten International Highlights Winners Blog Hop! I earned this honor with my card, Thoughtful Expressions Hummingbird Easel Card. I am honored that you voted for my card. Thank you so much.
This card that I'm sharing with you today is made with a simple but unique ink application technique. I'll hit the highlights of the card, but I have a video over on my YouTube Channel with complete instructions, and a free tutorial download with all the links below.
My card base is a 11" x 4 1/4" piece of Wild Wheat. The next layer is the front of one of the Gold Foiled Flowers Card bases.

Now let's take a look at the technique. Starting at the bottom, squeeze some Pecan Pie reinker onto a block, soak the dauber in the ink, then smear across the bottom fourth of the card front. Next, repeat with Pumpkin Pie reinker, then with Daffodil Delight reinker, and lastly, with Azure Afternoon. I left some spaces in the Azure Afternoon ink to mimic the look of clouds. After applying the ink, I tied a bow out of Blueberry Bushel ribbon, adhered it to bottom of the card front, and adhered the card front to the card base.

The nest was cut from Pecan Pie and Early Espresso cardstock with the dies from Nested Friends. The eggs were cut from Blueberry Bushel cardstock. The nest was adhered to a circle cut with an Everyday Details circle die out of the Distressed Gold Specialty Paper, then adhered to the lower right-hand corner.
