The Paper Shelter #551 ~ This Beautiful Earth

  Hello friends! Welcome back to our newest challenge at the The Paper Shelter. 

Team A - our challenge this week is This Beautiful Earth!

This means you can make a project using anything that relates to Nature.

Using the gorgeous A Cheerful Hummingbird digi, I created this card for a very special lady's birthday :-)

The card base is from a card kit made by the Hobby Shop in Holland, that Santa was very kind to bring for me. I used my own colours to stitch the pattern as I wanted it to match the Cheerful Hummingbird image.

I used the Silhouette to cut out the image a couple of times.  Then fussy cut the hummingbird and used the second one to layer it using foam squares. This adds beautiful dimension without adding too much bulk.

Here is a close up of this gorgeous digi, and if you close one eye and squint with the other really hard, you can see the layered effect. 😀

Thought I would also share a close up of the stitched pattern.  Altogether, it did not take me very long to put this card together.  The stitching is minimal and the card base and all the mats were already pre-cut.  I like the unusual shape and how it shows most of the digi even when closed.  It fits perfectly in a 5.75" x 5.75" square envelope for mailing.

The Paper Shelter offers a $30 gift certifcate for one lucky winner.  In order to get this prize, you must use a product from The Paper Shelter.  However, if you have not used a product from The Paper Shelter, you still stand a chance of winning 3 digis of your choice. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope my card inspired you to get crafty and come play along with us.  You can find our challenge blog HERE.
