My card entry is for Colleen Dietrich, SCS Featured Stamper this week. Colleen not only has a beautiful gallery, she has a beautiful blog too. Colleen, I love hydrangeas as well so I decided to CASE this card: Hydrangeas for Mother's Day by Smoatsmom at Splitcoaststampers
I made just a few slight changes. My stamped image is from Hero Arts, then colored with Copics. I tied some light colored twine around the stem. Instead of using dp as the background for the hydrangea, I used vellum over colored card stock (a different color). And lastly, I added some sweet flat pearls. My card is dedicated to Colleen today, and comes straight from my heart. Congratulations again on being this weeks Featured Stamper!
Thanks everyone for your visits. I love hearing from each and everyone of you!
Hugs and Blessings,
Susie ~

Susie, you've taken my breath away! I love that immediate gasp I do when I see a card that 'wows' me, and that's what happened here.
Such a beautiful idea to take pretty vellum and layer it over cardstock. Of course the piece de resistance is your beautifully-colored hydrangea. Love!
Your kind words warm my heart and I reread them a couple of times. Thank you so much for making a card to honor me this week. I've had such fun seeing what everyone's made!

Love the look of the vellum over the dp as the backdrop to this amazingly colored hydrangea.. The colors you have chosen for this is so appealing! The twine tied around the stem and the sweet pearls are the perfect addtion to this wonderful creation. My hydrangea's are about to bloom.... They are one of my favorite flowers! This card is so lovely... a fav for sure!!!
