Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I'm still playing with Bibi's Hummingbirds and having lots of fun doing it.
This time I cut it out of Mixed Media paper and watercolored with Distress Ink
and a waterbrush. I kept this one duller than my previous hummingbird for
a more natural look.
I found the background in my background box and used a similar pink ink to stamp
some flowers on the splotch. If you look closely, you can see some abstract flowers
the bird is dipping into. I used a Quickie Glue pen to add some outlines and dots
then burnished Deco Foil over the glue. You can see some of the gold below.
I held my breath when stamping the sentiment, even though I used my MISTI.
The font is small but stamped crisply. Whew!
I hope you experience at least one moment that takes your breath away today.

What a pleasure to see this beauty the first thing this morning, Bonnie. Your card has a very artsy look to it and it is sensational.
Gorgeous background, Bonnie! and I love your little Ruby Throated hummingbird!

Beautiful! You have forgotten more techniques then I will ever know!! I used to put out Hummingbird feeders when we lived in the mountains. To keep Hummers from fighting, you have to put out several feeders. Everyday I made more nectar to fill all the feeders. We had tons of Hummingbirds.
The addition of the gold is quite nice. I know it is a heart stopping moment when stamping a sentiment on a card that is finished - especially if the card is one that is really good!!!!

Another stunning card with the hummingbird, love the flower over the distressed ink, the sentiment is really lovely as is the gold touch.

A beautiful composition, Bonnie. The sentiment is very crisp...a rubber stamp? They still seem to stamp the most clearly for me, though I love the clear ones for positioning.
Love that background splotch and how you have enhanced it with the deco foil. It is so pretty xx
I love the pink and gold background with that hint of a flower Bonnie and such a lovely sentiment, and the soft colour of the hummingbird is just perfect over the top. x
Beautiful background, Bonnie - love the touch of gold. The hummingbird is fabulous in the muted colour.
WOW! This is fantastic. Your blossom adds a sense of realism to this. THis one is OUTSTANDING!
Well this took my breath away Bonnie..its absolutely stunning and the detail on the background is lovely an denhaces that lovely hummingbird. I would love to see one in real life!

I love how you used something from your background box to make this lovely card. By stamping a flower for the hummingbird it turned out wonderful. The touch of gold is gorgeous. As for breath, I lose mine several times a day if I'm not careful!
WOW, WOW, WOW!!! All your cards are beautiful Bonnie, but this one is just exceptional!!! There is just so much to LOVE about this one...the Hummer, your gorgeous background with the florals, and that tiny touch of gold and the perfect sentiment!! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Beautiful plus! I love your coloring on the hummingbird and that background is so lovely. A gorgeous card Bonnie.

You are so creative Bonnie! I adore the splodge background you found for your pretty humming bird and the way you stepped it up by adding flowers and a touch of gold foil. Vicky x
Wowee, I thought the one from the other day was beautiful! You worked your magic once again, Bonnie, fabulous card!
Your pretty hummingbird looks happy playing in the gorgeous watercolored background, Bonnie! Love the colors and the bits of gold! Great job getting the perfect impression of the sentiment!

Love your beautiful hummingbird card! Wonderful watercolor background in pretty color and sweet hummingbird! My sis would love this for she really loves hummingbirds! Great card!!
Gosh, another beautiful hummingbird! Love the pink abstract garden patch -- so artsy and gorgeous! I can see the particular flower the hummingbird is going for. The sentiment looks wonderful, and that bit of gold, sigh...
This is gorgeous! Amazing watercolouring. Love the organic artsy look… the kind you see in an art gallery!
Wow, wow, wow Bonnie, this card is stunning!!! I love your hummer, he/she is gorgeous but it is that background that is something else! I love how you stamped flowers in it as well. The gold adds a touch of elegance and the sentiment is perfect. I am really loving these hummingbirds you have been playing with! Hugs, Brenda
Beautiful backgrounds; perfect for your lovely hummingbirds.
WOW! I love your abstract background! I see flowers and I think they are truly amazing. I also think that the hummingbird in a neutral color worked perfectly against this background.
