Hydrangea Card.

Good afternoon Followers, Friends and Visitors,

Hope you are all safe and well during this spell of Winter weather.  We are ok but we have been snowed in.   Our village has been cut off for the last few days but luckily we always make sure we have plenty food, drink and logs as we can get cut off at times living high up in the hills lol!   Totally amazed we still have our electricity!   I thought I would share a card I have made today.   Last time I went shopping I bought a few crafty goodies and this stamp and corner die were amongst them.

      
Using a five and three quarter inch white linen base card, matt a slightly smaller square of blue paper onto it.    Next cut a smaller square of white card and onto this, stamp the flower, stem,  leaves and sentiments, using a black ink pad.

   

 Colour the flower head with the Dusty concord, Stormy sky & Tumbled glass distress inks, and the
leaves with the Peeled paint, using some water and a paintbrush. 

    
Stamp lots of tiny flower heads using one of the stamps from the set, onto white card which has been coloured with the distress inks, using a black ink pad.   Cut out each individual flower and shape, then glue to the original image.

Stamp two leaves from card coloured with the green  distress ink and cut out.   Glue these onto the main image.

Add some tiny dots of Imagination Craft's Silver gold Starlight paint to each flower centre.   Fix this card onto the base card with double sided sticky tape.

   
Add a touch of watered down silver gold Starlight paint to the leaves.   Colour a piece of white card with the Starlight paint and when dry, die-cut four corners using the Crafter's Companion corner die and glue one in each corner of the card.

   
                                                 That's this card finished, hope you like it.

                                                                 Love and rainbows,

                                                          Happy Crafting, Jennifer xx.

  1. Hello Jennifer, pleased to hear that you are keeping cosy at home. The amount of snow that some areas are experiencing is quite amazing. We have nothing here in Inverness, just bitter cold.

    I love your pretty card, what an amount of cutting out, beautifully coloured and designed too. Your log fire sounds wonderful , Kate x
