No story, just grateful that these flowers were specifically mentioned, as this lovely set has never seen ink. Please, please, go check out the teaparty MMTPT166 ~ FROZEN SNOW BIRDS WELCOME HERE! WE ARE FRIENDLY! HAVE NO FEAR! by Mothermark at Splitcoaststampers
this week as the Destination Station is a friend of my Palz Redbugdriver aka Karen.
Stamped and masked the flowers in Archival sepia on Flourishes white CS and colored with Copics. Matted with plum CS from Serendipity. Stamped the sentiment in vanilla and heat embossed. Punched a scalloped scallops border on a Wisteria card, then ran through a CB EF. Mounted all. Punched some small blooms with the MS Hydrangea punch and made them 3D (using the technique in Kittie747's blog tutorial - bless you Kittie!). Ran Pear & Garden Green CS through the same EF and cut out some of the embossed leaves and mounted. Added the pearls & stickles and done. PT - 22
Thank you so much for looking. Have a peaceful day.

Marie, a great job with those hydrenga's!! I tried to use that set too, but mine were ugly, so I went with another flower. But now I have several lovely examples in this gallery to case and may just give it another shot!! My set was also un-inked!!

I love what you did with your hydrangeas. In the thumbnail it looked like a lace cap with your raised florets. Cutting the leaves from the eb folder is also very effective.

Absolutely beautiful Marie! Glad you finally inked up your hydrangea stamp... I actually forgot that I have it in my stash. Oh well.... Love the popped up florets and leaves.

This is just awesome. I love how you dimensionalized some of the flowers and leaves on this. What an interesting design feature that just makes an spectacular statement on this enriched beauty. Well done!
