Before I get to my card today I wanted to show you the picture of this pretty Oriole that keeps showing up on our hummingbird feeder. I've tried for several weeks to get a photograph of him and was finally able to do it. We actually have an Oriole feeder but he prefers the hummingbird feeder instead. It's really not a very good photo but was the best I could do. He just doesn't want to cooperate a lot.
My card for today is using the geranium image from the Hambo Hoedown progressive challenge. Head over there and check out their challenge as it's so much fun. This week, other than having to use a Hambo image, it must also have scoring. I don't own any type of scoring tool so after printing the image, coloring it with Copics, and cutting it down to size, I then scored around it by placing it in my paper cutter, did a lot of measuring, and used a stylus in the groove. The sentiment and punches are from SU and I added the two pearls on the ends. The bow was completed with my Bow-Easy.
Thanks for stopping by.........oh, and guess what tomorrow is??? Get ready for another FUNNY FRIDAY!

We had a pair earlier this spring that was doing the same thing. I went out and bought them their own feeder but they liked the hummingbird feeder better. Great photo and pretty card!
I think its a wonderful picture of the Oriole, such remarkable coloring.

Fantastic coloring!! Love how elegant this card looks!
Your card is simply beautiful! The scoring looks perfect, so I'd say the system you rigged up is as good as any other! :) Thanks for taking our Hoedown challenge ... and for the sharing the beautiful oriole photo too!
Gorgeous photo of the bird. Great job on the card too. You did a great job on the scoring too. If I had done that it would have been a mess!
What a beautiful bird, Lynn...we just found a birds nest with some tiny eggs in out shrubs...I'll have to take a picture today! Your rose is simply gorgeous...such wonderful coloring and I love how you tied the bow around the stem!!
Wow, gorgeous!!! What a lovely picture of the bird, he so so pretty, they always want what they cannot have. Your card is so pretty as well, you know I love CAS cards now :) Your coloring is so prefect, great job with those Copics. Can't wait for my Funny Friday, I look forward to them.
Beautiful card Lynn, your colouring is perfect, that bird is stunning!

Awesome image... so CAS! Love the colouring. And that scoring is done so cleverly.
And that bird - beautiful! But he sure has a snobbish body language - such a royal pose there, as though he is trying to tell you how good looking he is, and that is what much make him so elusive to photograph! Lol...
A parcel left for you some 7 days ago. It takes a good 2 weeks to a month to reach.
