Fusion- Orange Blossoms

OK, you are in for a treat today!  Our Fusion Coordinator Kimberly Wiener put together an AHMAZING photo and sketch for you this week.  Check it out: I might be a little bit partial because I LOOOOOOOOVE hummingbirds!  They are so striking and have so much grace, how could you not!  So... Here is my take on the challenge! Pretty much straight up from the photo.  I used a Tim Holtz die to create my blooms and used Hero Arts Electric Orange applied with a sponge.  I needed a little depth so added some sequins to the blooms (these were compliments of Annette Allen over at My Clever Creations).  Just love that neon look.  I used my Designs by Ryn hummingbird stamp and colored this one in with various greens,aqua and grey.  Lastly, I added a sentiment from Technique Tuesday, stapled it on and distressed the edges.

Some amazing takes on this over at the Fusion blog.  Please go see!
