This will be for two challenges....Karen gave us some rich colors today...soft suede, berry burst, pool party. The teapotters destination this week is Bobbie'sgirl. Carol could use a cheering up. Lisa asked us to use a recycled item on our card. We will start with the recycled item....using Bristol paper did some coloring, and didn't like it. Turned it over and ran it though the printer for a new image on the other side. When coloring on Bristol, you do not need a large amt of water like water color paper. Lesson learned. Colored with the reinkers, embossed and sponged. My hummingbirds have left for the season....they are not real colorful like some hummers. This one looks more like the ones in my yard. Going to miss them...love to watch them. TFL

so pretty Linda- I always like your sensational coloring - our hummers are gone for the season as well- they are always entertaining in our yard as well.

Love your hummingbird! I have them in my yard too, although they move so fast I rarely see them. Mine are either very dark or bright iridescent green. Lovely coloring of your hummingbird and flowers. Beautiful vintage card.

Linda, this is such a beauty! Love the distress embossed corners on your background, and those beautiful rose-colored blooms and your sweet hummingbird. What great coloring! Love the white gel touches to the stamens.
