Our inspiration site (IC493) this week has a plethora of possibilities for colors and textures. I chose the colors in Barbie's scarf here: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/39828777930946085/ This also works for our challenge this week (CC530 ) - Strawberry Slush and Coastal Cabana (or the closest I had to these 2 colors), and our May flower challenge! In my never-ending quest of trying to develop some skill at watercoloring, I tried these stamps from Wplus9. My original effort did not work so I ended up cutting the panel smaller and framing it with an embossed panel. Actually liked how it turned out, even though my bird is too heavy handed. The framed panel is embossed and popped up for dimension.

this is a great inspired card Maura-and the hummer is so pretty sporting some of this weeks colors - my hubby is late getting our hummingbird feeder out - but as soon as he does we will have these lovelies to marvel at

I'm struggling to learn how to watercolor, too, so I sympathize. But I think your flowers and hummer are just lovely, beautifully done. Love the embossed frame, too!
