Tracy's card inspired me to use this stamp set that hasn't been inked in ages. I need a birthday card for an elderly woman who loves hummingbirds. She is recovering from a stroke and will have her 90th birthday soon.
For the case: I used a similar design, but changed the stamps and sentiment. Like Tracy, I used the watercolor wash background and spattered some ink drops. I changed the colors to be brighter for the birthday girl. My sentiment is covering a flaw, which is good, but it bugs me that it's crowded in. Otherwise, I'm happy with it. Thanks Tracy for the inspiration.
Also, I'm linking up for the Alphabet Challenge - Letter H - hummingbird and Happy Birthday. Not sure what the flower is, but this time I'll say it's a hibiscus.
Thank you for looking.

Diane, this is such a bright, cheerful card and will truly be appreciated by the 90-year-young lady you are giving this to! I love the colors you used, the water colored background with splatters and the cheerful images you colored so beautifully. Great card with the 3 H's you incorporated into it for the Alphabet challenge! ~Karen.

Beautiful card. I love seeing sentiments in color, I tend to do all of mine in black, but I love how your sentiment looks. Love everything about your card!

Beautiful design! I love hummingbirds, and anytime I get to create a card with one it brightens my day...just as this lovely creation will brighten the birthday of your elderly friend! Thank you for all of the wonderful compliments, and I'm so glad you could find some inspiration in my gallery!
