For Teapot Tuesday, we're collecting a trainload of birds and sending them off the California. Details: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
(I don't know if hummers will be a problem -- they do tend to get aggressive, and I'd hate for the party to be disruppted by fighting hummingbirds).
I used the sketch from this week's CAS challenge.

Yes, hummer's are quite welcome! Believe you me.....the soft flutter of their wings going 90 to nuttin, is a most welcome sound compared to the constant chirping of 42,000 blue birdies fighting over who brought the cutest birthday gift wrap! Yikes!
Me thinks that other vehicle (you know the one with wings?) sounds pretty good right about now! Whoa, did you see your hummer fly under the birthday present table, through the balloons and between the cake and the frosting on the cake? Amazing!!!! Your card is precious!

Oh those hummers! Don't worry about them.....I have brought lots of RED Bee Balm. That makes them really happy and well behaved!! I love that image! How cute!!

This is so sweet, love that sketch and those pretty papers!! I didn't know hummingbirds were aggressive, I guess ours will need a referee!
You asked about the hummingbird, yes, I used 4 markers, edged in lovely lavendar, then almost amethyst, apricot appeal, green galore in spots...then mist it lightly and stamp. It gives it a watercolor effect. Hope that helps.
