It has been a while since I
played with this stamp set. There is
something about hummingbirds that the moment I saw them I fell completely and
totally in love with them. Because of
some of this month’s challenge I knew it was time for this stamp set to come
out and play lol! No pastels this time
as hummingbirds are not pale or pastel coloured. I have just had a light bulb moment, lol, so
you will be seeing more of this set hopefully soon. The Winnie and Walter stamp set has been
moved so that I can’t grab that cute little bird for a while at least!
After stamping the birds and flowers I used my
Spectrum AquaTints (ATs) to colour the birds and flowers and left them to
dry. Once they dry I used the ATs again to
colour the background. I used one of my own H2Os pink backgrounds that
I cut to size and distressed the edges with my Tim Holtz distressing tool. I did the same with the stamped and coloured
in panel and inked up both the stamped and the pink papers and attached them to
my card. I coloured the blossoms and
flowers then glued them in place and I added Stickles to them: simples lol!
Thank you so much for taking
the time to visit and comment. I really
do appreciate it and I hope you get some time to do what you love to do soon ttfn Karen x

I have special satellite stations set up around the globe to notify me whenever a hummingbird work of art is created, so that's why I'm here first! And, wow, this is the best one ever, Karen! You have done a remarkable job bringing these delicious creatures to life in this triple treat card!! Hugs, Darnell

Gorgeous hummingbirds and stunning card! xxx
I adore hummingbirds and their bold, bright colors. You have captured their essence wonderfully with this design and details. Gorgeous blossoms and that background sets everything off nicely. Awesome sauce and fantabulous card! ~Niki
The Hummingbirds looks great along with all those dimensional flowers Karen.
