It was great fun creating this card with Designs by Ryn stamps & playing with molding paste & Silks acrylic glaze. I used Ryn's beautiful Flying Hummingbird 2, it's one of my favourites from her collection of Hummers. I combined him with her popular Water Droplets and you can see her Leaves in the background as well.
Every time I use the water droplets stamp someone will ask, "how did you create those water droplets?" Of course the answer is simple, just stamp them! It's an amazing design that Ryn hand drew and you will find lots of samples using it at her website.
Design by Ryn Stamps used: Flying Hummingbird 2, Water droplets & 3 Leaves set.
I started with Blue, Lime & Peacock Dylusions Inks on the background. Next I used TCW Stencil Mini Solace (TCW331S) and a light molding paste which I painted (when dry) with Silks Acrylic Glaze. (which are beautiful paints with mica powders, you can't see the sparkle in the photo). I added a lot of micro beads with Glossy Accents in the center of the 'flower'. I also painted over it with Silks.
Next I stamped 2 different leaves with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink and the Water Droplets with black Stazon Ink.
I embossed the Hummingbird with black, coloured with my Tombows and cut him out and adhered as shown. I used a very thin black mat and then white cardstock to pop the background colours.
Thanks for your visit and kind comments they are appreciated !
Have a great day

This is stunning Shirley, I love the colours, the hummingbird, the flower you created with the paste and how real the water droplets look. I will admit to buying this stamp (the water droplets, the humming bird is still on my wishlist), but with all the Christmas cards I've been making I have yet to used it. I'm hoping to have time in the New Year.
I've been busy with more Estate stuff this week, but we're hoping that it's nearly finished now. Hope everythings OK with you.

Oh, Shirley, die Karte ist wieder einmal ein Augenschmaus.
Fantastisch mit den Wassertropfen, es wirkt jedesmal wie echt.
Und die Farben hast du toll zusammengestellt.
Einzigartig schön.
Einen schönen dritten Advent xx
What a beautiful hummer and flower! And those water drops look 3-D. What an amazing stamp!
That is so cool, Shirley! I love anything hummer and you did a fantastic job coloring him with your Tomboys. It looks so brilliant, like you used H20s or one of your other wildly colorful techniques. I'm going to have to get him and the sensational water droplets. Mwah!
(So, knowing me, I sometimes take a second and go back and read my comment. Ahem. Wouldn't it be nice if you really did have Tomboys? Think of all the yardwork they could do, and other assorted duties, shoveling snow and whatnot!!)

That is one of my favorite images by Ryn, too, Shirley. Gorgeous with the brilliant colors. So... you used your canvas class technique on the card... I'm not surprised LOL Shirley, an amazing card with such brilliant colors. Thank you for sharing!
