Hummingbird





This is the card I made for the challenge over at Midnight Madness!I love sketch challenges and this one is fantastic!!!! To tell the truth I used scrape paper from my basket so not sure what company it's from, I'm gonna guess Stampin Up. The images are from Heartfelt Creations HCPC3362 Angel Trumpet Flower.
