Color Challenge hosted by Stef - Balmy Costal Tide with leaves as dessert
Teapotters Challenge hosted by Polly - Hug-a-thon for Melanie who loves blue, hydrangeas, is in need of encouragement and religious cards are welcomed.
When I saw the Teapotters Challenge, I immediately thought of this hydrangea die-cut set. When I saw the Color Challenge and the dessert, it was meant to be. In Tranquil Tide, I could only find this ONE strip of cardstock. I did not have too much to begin with, but where did it all go? Fortunately, the verse stamp fit perfectly. It is wood-mounted, so I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to position it just right and used VersaMark ink to heat emboss in white. I wanted to layer two die-cuts of the hydrangea blooms. I stamped the flower and die-cut. For the bottom layer, I stamped in VersaMark ink and heat embossed in Iridescent Ice. It made the color a little darker and gave it wonderful sparkle. It is so sparkly IRL. The top blooms were glued down only in the middle; along the sides it curves up for added dimension. The stem and leaves are die-cut in Costal Cabana. I added Costal & silver sequins and a Tranquil bitty bow. Everything is on a Confetti White card base. For the Teapotters Challenge- my favorite embellishment is a bow.

Gasp! Diane, this is sooo beautiful my friend. I adore this gorgeous blue hydrangea with dainty bow, and what a wonderful verse this is too. I have been wanting this die set ever since I have seen the cards you have been making with it, and now I "need" it. Thank you for the enabling! Amanda is going to treasure this beautiful card you made for her. Hugs! ~Karen.
