I had to come in the backdoor with this one and I know...NO COOKIES for me!!
Here is my card for Barbara. I went with a hummingbird because they don't tend visit our seacoast town to often! I've lived here my whole life and have never seen one. I thought she would enjoy having one to view!
Images and sentiment from Flourishes Humming Along set were stamped in Basic Black on watercolor paper and watercolored with SU markers. Framed with Basic Black and mounted on a So Saffron base. Added a tiny Pear Pizzar bow to frame the sentiment.
TFL and I look forward to your views and comments.

Robin, why worry about cookies when you can have lobster rolls??!!
Your card is beautiful and hummingbirds are the sweetest little birds. I do have the ruby-throated variety visiting my red/hot pink flowers as they migrate back and forth. Your coloring is beautiful. Warm wishes to your Barbara.
