Hello everyone! Well, I didn't get to do as much in my stamp room this week as I'd hoped. Sometimes there are just too many other things that come up... you know how that goes. The week is not over, but the rest of the days are full. However, I did manage to color something and, gosh, it sure does look bright.
The stamp set is Pinkfresh Folk Hummingbird -- just something I came across and loved when I was scrolling through the Pinkfresh site. I stamped the flowers directly, but the hummingbird was cut with the coordinating die and popped up. The flowers were watercolored with Stampin' Up! inks and the bird was colored with Tombow markers and my homemade blender solution.
The frame is just two Tombow marker colors -- a lime green and sort of a tropical blue scribbled onto a large acrylic block, spritzed with water, and then the frame was smooshed into it repeatedly.
I made this card with a number of challenges in mind:
- Double D - Birds. Can be birds, bird nests, birdhouses, bird cages. Bird stamps and dies are one of my many weaknesses.
- Colorful Options - Pretty Pink. I tried to use more pink, but it just didn't look right, so I'm hoping my hummingbird represents a rainbow of color, which is the other option.
- Four Seasons - May Spring Challenge. I believe this looks like spring.
- NBUS Challenge #38. First time to ink up this Folk Hummingbird set. Thank you for the challenge, Darnell!
I sure do appreciate your visit and comments. I know blogger has been eating a lot of comments lately and that's a sad thing because we all want to know when our friends stop by. Wishing you good health and happiness!
