I'm hoping Mr Blogger is placing nice today as I'll be winging my way to a workshop with Sheena Douglass as this card should be posting.
A couple of weeks ago I managed to enter Brenda's Poppy challenge by the skin of my teeth and was delighted that my name came out in the draw. I had the chance to choose something from Sir Stampalot - and chose Tim Holtz' Compendium of Curiosities Vol II. Thank you Brenda - I'm hoping I can come up with some inky creations sometime soon.
This week's challenge from the CD Sunday team is 'Exotic Birds and Blooms' a theme chosen by Christine.
I have used these two stamps together before I know but it was a while back. The 'exotic blooms' are part of a large azalea stamp and I have used the top part of the stamp to make the border. This was coloured with Distress Markers. The humming bird is a Dimensions stamp - coloured with H2O's.
The bp was just what I was looking for - although it took me some time to find it. It's on the Jayne Netley Mayhew II CD set - disc 2. The decoupaged leaf - top corner - is the large leaf on the azalea stamp, the sentiment an oval a nestie and the ribbon from my stash. Hope you'll come and join us this week. Lots of scope again with this theme.
I'd also like to enter this card in the Sir Stampalot challenge this month. The theme is 'Take Flight' so this should fit the bill. I think I'll have to link it to the challenge blog when I get back as I'm not sure what would happen if I try to link a post that isn't published yet. Confusion all round I would think.
Thanks very much for visiting today and enjoy what's left of the weekend.

A lovely card Beryl and I love the way you have combined the two stamps. When I saw it I thought it was all one stamp - very clever and I love the colours. Hope you have a fab time with Sheena.
