Hi friends. It has been a hot minute since I've posted here, and I am so sorry for that. I was really burnt out and needed a crafty and social media break. But I couldn't say no when Topflight Stamps reached out and asked if I would participate in their 8th birthday blog and IG hop. I am hoping to get back into some crafting and sharing here. Fingers crossed!

Now onto my card - I just got the Hummingbird Large and Hummingbird Small stamps from Lavinia and wanted to use them. To get started, I took 3 colors of Shimmer Pearl ink from Spectrum Noir, linked below, and went direct to paper with the pads, adding the colors in different spots. I love the look this gives and this ink, while you can't really see it in person, is so shimmery and gorgeous.
After my panels were dry, I stamped both the Hummingbird Large and Hummingbird Small stamps onto the background using Versafine Claire Nocturne ink. I stamped a sentiment from my stash and then rounded the corners. I added foam tape to the back and mounted the panels on some purple A2 card bases.
I thought about adding in some embellishments but decided to keep the cards as is.
Here's the designers participating in the blog hop.
Don't forget we're also having a SALE in the store during the celebration. Check out the selection of stamps and other goodies sourced from all around the world!
hope you have a wonderful day. Thanks for your visit and crafty hugs! ~ Alanna

It's good to see you, Alanna! I kind of thougtht you were just extra busy with work. I'm sorry you were feeling burned out. It's good to take a break when you need to. Hopefully you'll feel more and more creative as time goes on. These cards are so beautiful. I can just imagine how shimmery they must be in real life. Wow! Happy spring!
