OK, it's time for the latest Progressive Challenge at Outlawz and this lovely image is "Hummingbird n Morning Glory" by Mary Smith, artist at Createful Heart.
The image is colored with my Pro-Markers and I added a touch of glitter to the hummer's head and throat. I wish that showed better in the photo. I cut the image with a stitched, scalloped circle die from Memory Box. I framed that with a stitched circle die cut (Die-namics) and then used the same die to cut a 'window' hole in the darker green CS, offsetting it so that the light green CS would frame two sides.
I dug out two of my blue ribbons, one for the wrap ribbon and a plaid one for the bow. The flower is cut from fabric ribbon and colored with ProMarkers. Finally, I printed and added the sentiment.

Today, I'm having lunch with my daughter and then I'm going to come home and make another dozen 'Thank You' cards for my granddaughter to send to all the folks who have been so generous in helping with the fundraising for her trip to Cheer Nationals in Orlando, FL.
She has raised almost one-third of what's needed but only has a little over a month left to raise the other two-thirds. If you think you might be interested in helping out with a few dollars, please see my original post, here. You'll find a link to her fund raising site on that post. She has worked so hard for this honor and deserves to go.
I've never asked for anything like this but it's such bad timing for her folks. My son-in-law has been out of work for a year now, despite all his efforts at securing a new job. The family is surviving on the savings they put aside over the last 8 years and there just are no spare funds for airfare, hotel and meal costs. It'll break my heart if she can't participate with her team. Thanks for whatever support you might be able to give. I appreciate it so much! :-D
Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
I based this on the sketch from The Outlawz,
but I turned it on its side.

You're rocking on those clean and simple cards lately! Love the color combination and the little hummingbird is so pretty.
That's great that your granddaughter has raised a third of the money she needs. She'll make it in time and then do great when she's there.

Beautiful card - I love the vibrant "pop" of the blue ribbon against the green, counterbalancing the delicate colouring. Thank you for sharing it with us at Crafty Cardmakers.
