It's a Good Day to be Happy

Hi, everyone!  Today I'm sharing a hummingbing card!  No colouring here; only stamping of the image and background.  Hummingbirds will be here early next month after making their long journey north, and I am so looking forward to seeing them again!


Stamps:  Hummingbird (STAMPlorations The Birds and The Blooms), flowers (Memory Box - Whisper Print Wildflower, Geranium, and Daisy), sentiment (MFT)
Ink:  Stampin' Up Going Grey
Die:  Tag (Your Next Stamp Stitched Fishtail Tags One)
Patterned paper:  MME
Ribbon:  Crafty Ribbons
Other:  Flower sequins 
Recycled Item:  I don't have a lot of grey cardstock so I like to recycle chipboard packaging.  I can't buy these photo-magnets any more (discontinued) but I have saved a lot of the packaging because of the grey colour.


I was inspired by the April STAMPlorations TAGplorations Challenge, which is All About Recycling:


By the way, STAMPlorations is having a Spring Fling event from April 1 to 12 so head over and check out the beautiful spring inspiration!  There are 12 days of giveaways!  I'm linking here.


I would also like to support the following challenges: 2 Crafty Critter Crazies Critters - Furry, Feathered, Fantasy, Fairytale, Scaly, or Insect 3/5; Allsorts Use Yellow 3/3; Carlin's Kaartenparadijs Bird and Photo Inspiration 2/3; Crafty Hazelnut's Patterned Paper April UE; Cute Card Thursday AG UE; DL.ART April Linky AG UE 1/d; DL.ART Thankful Thursday Anthing Spring Wk1 1/2; Penny's Paper-crafty AG 1/3; STAMPlorations Never-ending Anything Goes Challenge; Three Amigos Blog Hop ISpringtime UE; Word Art Wednesday AG w Uplifting Sentiment 1/5 wk2

    I'm so glad that the hummingbirds are arrived safely in your zone despite the bad weather!! Climate challenges have not good effects to the animsl migrations...😔
    Your card looks so lovely with the beautiful hummingbird tag! Well done with the grey packaging recycling! Great idea! 😊
    Big hugs!

    Great card Kitty, no wonder I haven't found those magnet sheets, You must be very organized to have a stash of backing papers. I can never find anything when I need it.

    What a great way to recycle. I don't see too many hummingbirds, not enough flowers to attract them, I suppose. Lovely card and tag.
