A neighbor printed out this image for me to color in honor of the many Hummingbirds here. We estimate 165 Zum Zums [the name for hummingbirds in some South American countries - isn't that descriptive??] or more in the summer. In the winter the number drops to around 50. We make the sugar solution and fill up to 9 quart feeders everyday in the summer.I colored the image with Copics [BV11, 13, 17 BG45, 49 ] and then used a Uniball Signo white pigment gel pen for the dots and wink of Stella to create sheen on his throat. The vine is from a Martha S. punch and the flowers are from a Hanko punch with a light blue jewel for the centers.
The "Hello" stamp is from SU.
I used this card as a Thank you for my brother and his wife.

ReplyDeleteGinny, this is a stunning hummingbird! Bravo on how you've colored it and the dot details you've finished it out with. I love, too, how it appears to be sipping from the flowered vine. And a big pat on the back to you and the hubby for taking care of these natural wonders. They are so lovely to watch!
