I’d like to start by wishing Paulina a happy FOURTH birthday! Yes, it’s her 4th year as Pretty Pink Posh, and I’m very happy for her – it’s not easy to keep a business afloat! #girlpower!
She sent me some of the new release, and I chose these really pretty little hummingbirds; they’re perfect for CAS cards with tiny little watercolored birds. I used Tombow markers, but you can try whatever water-based markers you have at home. (Don’t do this with alcohol markers, you’ll mess up your stamps!)

Wow! What a cool technique! Thanks for sharing! These are beautiful 🙂
Your water color hummingbirds thank you cards are fabulous!!!
I love this stamp/die set and the card set you created. I am looking forward to trying your technique and creating card sets for gifts for Mother’s Day (yes it’s a few months away still, but if I start early enough they will be ready for the fabulous ladies -my mom, godmothers and sisters- in my life).
Thanks for the inspiration Sandy! As always, wonderful coloring tips.
Love this idea–thanks for sharing. I will definitely be trying this technique.

Sandy, I’m smiling allllll over my face in seeing your sweet, softly water-coloured hummingbird cards. Perfect showcases of the new release! I can tell you had a blast designing these; they’re infused with joy!

You really transformed those hummingbirds with the watercolor. It’s stunning.
Very pretty, love the watercolor look!

So pretty and delicate looking. Would make a beautiful gift as a set for someone special.
Beautiful cards! I appreciate your idea on how to make this design a little more elegant. Makes the stamps that much more versatile!
These are so pretty. I have some TomBow markers that I’ve hardly used. Can’t wait to try this.

Wow, what amazing cards. I love it that you used Tombows. I need to give mine some love and this is a perfect project that I may actually be able to accomplish. Thanks for the inspiration!
I am so loving the hummingbird set. Your cards highlight them so well. Thanks for sharing.
So pretty!!

Cute idea for a card set!
Beautiful as usual. Love this effect
Sandy these are so pretty!~ I love the whitespace and the way the bird is a focal point and I love the watercoloring… Will have to watch the video!
Super beautiful CAS cards!! Love your take! Thank you for sharing your inspiration with us 🙂
Sandy, your hummingbirds are so precious! Thanks for sharing the watercolor with markers technique. I can’t wait to try it out!
Beautiful cards! I’m always in awe of your coloring!
Sandy, Enjoyed your video – learned so much and so inspired! Your hummingbirds are so charming… Happy Birthday to Pretty Pink Posh Diana O
These hummingbirds are so cute! I love how you colored them; you always make it look so simple. And that ‘deckled’ edge is very clever.
i love your cards. those hummingbirds are such a great image and you made them sing.
Love your beautiful cards Sandy as well as the inspiration they provide. Thank you!
These are so pretty – soft and yet bright…I love it! Haven’t done this technique in awhile myself – thanks for the reminder to try it again sometime soon!
So cute, I love these little hummingbirds, and you made gorgeous cards with them!
Oh wow Sandy absolutely gorgeous, beautiful transparency, stunning work!
Lovely as always.
These are amazingly beautiful!
I adore these cards. I have not used my Tombows directly to stamp and I will certainly give that a try. Thank you for the inspiration. Thank you also for saying that even when the card panel is tucked into the corner of the MISTI, it doesn’t always line up. I thought I was the only person in the world who experienced that issue!!
These are stunning.
These are so pretty. I loved the watercoloring. Who wouldn’t like to get such a gorgeous thank you!
