I have a card today featuring another one of Design by Ryn's beautiful Hummingbirds along with two more of her designs. This makes me dream about summer...
I'm joining in with the Simon Says Stamp Challenge, the theme this week is Anything Goes ! You can win a $50 shopping spree ! Wouldn't that be fun to chase away the winter blues?
To create the background I started with Impression Obsessions Solid Cover a Card -CC084. I inked it up with Colorbox Moss Green Pigment Ink and then 'stamp-kissed' using Ryn's Gerbera with Colorbox Harbor Pigment Ink. Next I sprayed a little Juniper (blue) Glimmermist. Once dry I over-stamped with Ryn's Leafy Branch and coloured with my Prisma Pencils and distressed the edges.
I stamped Hummingbird 3 on watercolour paper and coloured with my Tombows using a brush & water. I cut him out and attached as shown. "Just a note" is from Impression Obsession- B3552.
If you have a chance, please drop by Miranda's and Eileen's Blogs, both with lots of inspiration, who are also on Ryn's Design Team. Also Ryn's Facebook page is full of ideas using her stamps.
And below is a picture of one of my kitties hanging out with me in my craft room ! I've posted another one of him on my side-bar when he fell asleep. He is a sweet boy :)
Thanks for your visit !
Have a great day, Shirley

If only my crafting space looked as clean as your's does Shirley. What a wonderful card, I love the leafy branch stamp, and the humming bird is on my wish list (there's lots on it). Gorgeous colours as always, reminds me of spring.

Great colors! Love the Hmmm-bird....just received my Ryn stamps today!! Yippee playtime!
I have a 5 year old grandson who has been diagnosed as Aspergers and has a fascination with Hummingbirds, so I cannot pass one without thinking of him. I love the colours and design of this card.I am so going to find this stamp. Thank you.
Sweet Kitty! LOL Shirley, this is one of my favorite images from Ryn's Designs. Just love this hummer. Looks great with the floral leaves, and your amazing colors! Thanks for sharing kitty. hugs, de
That is a stunning background using the Kissing technique. The black stamping of the leaf branch either side frames the hummingbird beautifully but your placement of the bird also acts as a diagonal bridge between the top left & bottom right corners. Amazing how the gerbera petals echo the long wing & tail feathers whereas the leaves on the branch echo the scaly body feather shapes. I love the way you matched the Tombow colouring with your inks too.
Your little assistant looks very well behaved too.

beautifully done! i love the colours and the popped hummingbird. summer will be nice. :)
I must say that every time I am curious to see wich stamps and colors you have combined... The stamps and so many greens on the card and hummingbird are so in balance! A real fest for my eyes! Have a cozy/fine/creative weekend! Hugs, Gerrina

Your kitten is very cute .. our pets bring us such joy !
