Hello and welcome to the Ink & Inspirations Blog Hop where we are being inspired to create by a pretty colour challenge. The inspiration picture featured a hummingbird and I loooove a hummingbird, with that in mind I made my card using the hummingbird from the Thoughtful Expressions stamp set.
Colours used in this card are:
To recreate the hummingbird card, you will need:
Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Starry Sky card – 5¼” by 3½”
Basic White card – 5⅛” by 3⅜”
Scrap Basic White card
Using a Blending Brush, I lightly added Starry Sky ink to the centre of the 5⅛” by 3⅜” panel of Basic White card. This was then adhered to the Starry Sky layer and then to the Thick Basic White card front.

The sentiment was stamped in Starry Sky ink onto the card front.

The hummingbird was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto scrap Basic White card. I coloured it with the following Blends Pens – Daffodil Delight, Petunia Pop, Berry Burst and Pretty Peacock. I added the colour really lightly and used the Color Lifter to remove some of the colour and blur the edges.

The double flower was stamped with the same Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured using the Daffodil Delight, Petunia Pop, Berry Burst and Shy Shamrock Blends Pens.

The coloured images were die cut using the Thoughtful Expressions Dies. The images were then added to the card front on Dimensionals.
