Hummingbird Thanks - Color Throwdown #484

~

Hey, y’all!  We’ve come upon another Wednesday, so that means a brand new Color Throwdown challenge! 

This week our hostess, Amy Rohl, has a bold & bright color combo for us – Eggplant, Green, and White.

It’s almost time here in the South for the hummingbirds to show up.  They almost always show up on April 1st and stick around our area until September 1st, sometimes a little later.  I’m anxious for them to come back.  I love the little whirring sound they make when they’re flitting about, and they’re so much fun to watch.

So when I saw the cute Hummingbird Thanks stamp set from Pretty Pink Posh, I just had to have it!  And here’s what I came up with using this week’s colors -

This little guy was watercolored with a Zig Clean Color marker (No. 080 Violet) and he’s flitting about a WPlus9 Pretty Peonies flower.  The background was smooshed using Distress inks.

Now it’s your turn to play along with us.  Check out the details at the CTD blog and grab some fabulous inspiration from the design team too!

Let's call her "Summer" and I hope I see some of her cousins before August, unless they all need to live with you in a reasonable climate. She's a little doll. Like how you made the stem of your flower so subtle. Lovely -- and I hope your week has a celebration or two -- Pi(e) day or green beer, er I mean St Patrick's Day or March Madness or National Potato Chip Day or...

Well, of course you had to have it! Wow, look how gorgeous that purple hummingbird is. Beautifully watercolored. The stamp is sweet and fanciful and happy -- my favorite kind of stamp. So adorable, Broni!
