Make a Set of Hummingbird Thank You Cards – Tombow markers

by Sandy Allnock | Jan 11, 2018 | Watercolor Pens/Inks | 158 comments

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!)

Truly lovely, Sandy! I just love your watercolored hummingbirds and the soft, water colored deckled edge. Just perfect! My mom adores hummingbirds and feeds them each day in her desert garden. Can’t wait to surprise her with a watercolored hummingbird card like yours!
