Hummingbird Shaker Card and MARY Banner

Good morning friends

I have a shaker card today, that was made for a challenge over at Split Coast Stampers. The challenge was actually a 'tea party' for my Mom, and she has been receiving the most wonderful cards from all over. She is thrilled!! The challenge was to use repetition as well as flowers, hummingbirds or tea images.

For the repetition part of the challenge, the flowers in the lovely background die are repeated, the opening shape in the centre is repeated, I repeated the colours from the hummingbird with the floral background and also in the sequins. Oh, and I cut the word 'hello' twice and offset for a bit of a shadow.

Speaking of my Mom, I wanted to share the little banner I made for her a few months ago. I had it hanging on her bulletin board when she arrived at the nursing home from the hospital so the room would look cheerful. I also had a new comforter with a bright pink throw, and a white mason jar with pink silk roses on her nightstand.

To make the banner I used the Photo Banner die by Lynda Kanase, letter dies by Sizzix and the flowers had been fussy cut from a scrap of patterned paper that was sitting on my stamping table.
