I have another Hummingbird design using Designs by Ryn's gorgeous new Hummingbird 2 unmounted set. This one is a Red-tailed Comet Hummer but as you can see his tail is not red :)
The background is a little busy but I had fun playing around. I started with Distress Inks on an acrylic block spritzed with water. Using the same inks, I over stamped with a flower from the Hibiscus unmounted set. I added some circles and stenciling using white acrylic paint. I also added some chunky gold enamel by heating underneath.
It's hard to see but I used a couple of stamps at the top and bottom from Chocolate Baroque's Wisteria Lane set using the purple Tom Bow marker direct to the stamp.
I coloured the bird with Tom bow markers. The die cut flowers are by Crealies - Set of 3 - Flower no. 3 also coloured with the same purple Tom Bow marker (by rubbing on craft mat and spritzing water and dragging the flowers through).
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week,
Shirley

I don't think the background looks busy at all Shirely, in fact the hummingbirds sits beautifully against it and you might guess I absolutely love your choice of colours.
I'm patiently waiting for mt Dylusions paints to arrive, Lesley was out of stock of most colours but said it won't be long, the looks so beautifully vibrant just like the sprays.

This is another gorgeous hummer Shirley and I love the background with the different stamps and media and the colours are beautiful. When I first looked I thought I recognised some CB stamps in there too. Wisteria Lane is one I keep thinking about getting. x
What a fantastic card, really dreamy. Hugs, Valerei
The hummingbird looks great on that stunning background!

wow! a marvelous creation, Shirley - love your "starburst" flower made just for the beautiful hummer! The pops of dimensional purple flowers look beautiful with the hummer's feathers, too! We have noticed a decline in our hummingbird population here in the past 2 weeks - the weather is the same, but maybe their babies have grown and it is time to migrate further south? hugs, de
Oh wow, stunning!! Love those dreamy greens, and the touches of purple just really make it come to life! Fabulous all round!!
Hi teamie, a beautiful card and I also love the background! These lovely fragile birds are so pretty! xxhugs Miranda

Hey Shirley! Beautiful card!!! I'm really liking how the background came together in this one. It gives so much texture and interest to the piece. Lovely colouring on the hummingbird too. Glad that you made h your own. He doesn't need to have a red tail :) Hugs and thanks!!!
That BG looks amazing! And the flowerpetals are just what it needed next to that beautiful-coloured hummingbird! It is a beauty again! Hope you can enjoy some sunny warm days this month... Hugs, Gerrina
Magnificent! Saw this on Ryn's FBook post, and zipped over to see it closer. Really great use of this hummer stamp, and I LOVE your background. Lots of color & texture help emphasize this wonderful bird. TFS & Hugs
Oh so beautiful, Shirley! Hope you're having a great week!

I'm trying to be "good" ! I just got a huge gift from my husband; pan pastels! They are so awesome! I love this "stuff"! But not enough time for Therapy! :) Hope you are have a great fall!
