Happy Friday! Today's card wraps up Creative Expressions Week #1. I'll do more on this focus another week, but I have a few other things to do in the meantime. My not-yet-used baskets runneth over.
I think this stamp is so pretty and delicate. The hummingbirds are make-believe colors because sometimes it's easier to not follow the rules. I watercolored with Tombow markers. I could swear the green border was a better match in real life, sigh... Maybe it's the photo, maybe my memory is faulty (haha, not haha).
The stamp is called Sweet Nectar. It includes the sentiment. I added green sprinkles with retired SU Itty Bitty Backgrounds. It's a simple birthday card, already sent and received.
Sharing my never-before-used Sweet Nectar at Darnell's NBUS Challenge #40.

Gorgeous. Love the image and the colors are so electric. I always have issues with colors not looking real in the photos.
sweet card, lovely soft coloring. Have a great day
I am so glad your new stuff basket is overflowing. That makes me feel so much better! What a lovely card, the coloring is gorgeous and I love the sweet hummers. I like the border too, I think the bold color pulls things together. I've loved your cards this week, Leslie, and had a good look at Creative Expressions. Thanks for the wonderful inspiration!
Hi Leslie, just popped over to thank you for the lovely comment you left on my blog. I never can resist a doggy stamp, especially when they look a bit like Marvin, our Red Fox Lab!
Your card is beautiful, a lovely delicate stamp, soft colouring and beautiful clean design.

Beautiful, delicate image that is brought to life with your amazing watercolour skills, my friend. xx
Beautiful Leslie! Your back ground is so soft and pretty, dreamy actually, and your hummingbirds and coloured beautifully. Your watercolouring is amazing. Love the itty bitty background stamp, just adds enough interest, and that strip of the gold peel off is perfect. Love this! Have a wonderful weekend, it's a long weekend here in Canada (Monday is Civic holiday) and I took Tuesday off, so a nice long weekend for me. Take care my friend, sending hugs
So, so pretty, Leslie. I always love your coloring, and you always know just the right finishing touches. I wonder how many of us still have the Itty Bitty Backgrounds set. :-)
Hummingbirds come in so many wonderful colors, Leslie - yours is just as beautiful! What a wonderful stamp! Thanks so much for sharing these from new-to-me companies, and your gorgeous card!

Beautiful images and I think hummingbirds have so many iridescent colors that yours would blend right in.
Received and so enjoyed, my friend! The green is perfect IRL and the hummingbirds and flowers are beautiful!
Leslie, I love all your cards but hummers are a fave here as we feed them and just love watching them thru their aerobatics!!! Beautiful card!
It's beautiful Leslie. The green is perfectly fine and there are no rules when it comes to colouring so you can use whatever colour takes your fancy. I love the soft background and those splatters they are the perfect finishing touches xx
what a pretty card! Love the colors. I am enjoying watching our hummingbirds. We have one very large one that loves to come and peck at our window and then eventually flies away to get some goodies in the garden!
It is just gorgeous, I love the coloring, that is what I love about this creativity is we can do whatever, it doesn't have to be a copy of the real thing, it is what our eyes like to see :) I know what you mean about things matching ok in real life but the camera not picking that up, in fact half the pictures I take of side views are usually the actual colors then the head on pictures.
so delicate and pretty. one of my faves.
So pretty. Your coloring of the hummingbirds is gorgeous.
This is such a pretty and delicate card…love the vibrant hues…and I do believe when you see the sun reflect off a hummingbirds wings, all those colors appear. We were just at our daughters house in the mountains and enjoyed the hummingbirds feeding at the feeder. Thank you so much for welcoming me back to blogging. I always love seeing your card creations, Leslie.
