I wanted to do a special Mother's Day card for a new mother and this mother hummingbird was the perfect image for that. I also think it would work for my mom and MIL cards too!
Image is watercolored and shimmery watercolors applied to birds.
The white flowers on the diecut frame were stamped in white but also went over it with a white gel pen.
There's a mini picture tutorial how to do the bow on my blog link at bottom of description.
Thanks for looking!
