Ink, Stamp, Share February Hop - All That Flutters

 

 
Sneak Peak

 

 
Hello and Welcome to Ink, Stamp, Share like the name states
We LOVE using Ink, Stamps and we LOVE to Share our creations with you.
We are a Collaboration of Creative Minds who are Stampin' Up! Demonstrators
from all around the globe. 




You may have joined me from Cindy Or you may be starting the hop here with me, either way I am sure we all have some amazing creations to share with you.

This month the theme is All That Flutters, with anything that flutters, birds, bees, butterflies.
This was a very easy theme for me and especially with the current Jan-Apr 2024 Mini Catty.
We are spoiled for choice with things that flutter in this catalogue.
Pages 8, 9, 10, 67 and 87 have bees on them
Pg 11 has a flying bird
Pages 22, 23, 24 and 25 all have butterflies on them.
Pg 35 has a flying bird
Pg 53 & 68 have chickens
Pg 58 & 67 has a seagull
Pages 60, 61, 62 & 73 have a hummingbird (Which is the set I am focusing on)
Pp 65 has a bird BUT it isn't flying.
OK enough with things that flutter, there is also Hot Air Balloons.

 

Ok let's get onto what I created with Poetic Expressions Suite Collection on Pages 60, 61, 62.
I just knew as soon as I saw this suite that it would be one of the first things in my pre-order
and it was.  I just LOVED everything about it!!!
Not so much the Hummingbird as we don't have them in Australia BUT
the actual stamp is very realistic and I love the in flight action captured in the stamp.



I created this project for another collaboration I was working on, it didn't make the cut.
Due to the fact of the grunginess of this card I figured that just because I liked how it turned out that it may not be everyone's cup of tea...So to speak.
AND I know not everyone in the Stampin' Up! community like the Wild Wheat in
the 2023-2025 In Color family.
