Today's challenge card was very fun to make. I'm not sure that I'm crazy about how the So Saffron layer turned out. I think that if I were to redo it I would probably make it white instead. The humming bird was water colored with SU inks.

Some of you have asked what punch I use for the corners of some of my cards. I use this scallop corner punch by Marvy Uchida. I got mine at JoAnn's over a year ago and I'm not sure if they still have this particular punch. I'm pretty sure that you can still buy it online though.
Lots of stuff today!
