Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner – one for the inside
Pretty Peacock – 3” by 3”

I began by stamping the largest flower in Rococo Rose ink at the top and bottom of one of the Basic White panels.

I added the ‘hydrangea image’ in Purple Posy ink. The other flowers were added in Terracotta Tile and Seaside Spray ink

The leaves were added in Pretty Peacock ink. The stamped panel was then added to the Pretty Peacock layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Using the same glue I added the layer to the Seaside Spray card front.

I stamped the sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink onto the small square of Basic White card and die cut it using the Layering Circles Dies and Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.

www.crafty-rootes.com – Garden Wishes stamp set by Stampin’ Up!used for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

I decided the image needed something more and added a group of small flowers from the Grace’s Garden stamp set in Old Olive ink and coloured them in using the Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Blends.

The sentiment from the Garden Wishes stamp set was stamped in Old Olive ink onto scrap Very Vanilla, trimmed out with sharp scissors. I mounted it on a scrap of Old Olive. It looked a little plain so I die cut the sweet edge strip from the Be Mine dies from a scrap of Cherry Cobbler card and cut it to fit.

I used the light Mint Macaron, light Purple Posy, light Flirty Flamingo and light So Saffron Blends to draw lines from side to side all the way up the 2” strip of Basic White card. I choose to leave a thin white line between each colour to give some definition to each colour.

I added the stripy layer to the Smoky Slate panel using Dimensionals and added the Flirty Flamingo die flowers into the negative space on Dimensionals as well. I used the same set of dies to cut some of the flower centres from scrap Basic White and added these to the centre of the flowers with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The panel was added to the Flirty Flamingo card base with the same liquid glue.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A sweet pair of stripy floral cards made using Blends Alcohol Markers and the Pierced Bloom dies

A gorgeous water colour Hydrangea bloom featuring the smooched ink technique and the Hydrangea Haven stamp set and Hydrangea Dies by Stampin' Up!

Smooched Hydrangea

Posted on March 21, 2021March 15, 2021 by Mo Rootes

A sweet card featuring a gorgeous smooched Hydrangea made with the Hydrangea Haven stamp set and Hydrangea Dies and some watercolour ink smooching. Love a bit of smooching.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the smooched Hydrangea card, you will need:

Soft Sea Foam card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – Rounded lower right corner
Flirty Flamingo – 5¾” by 3¼” – Rounded lower right corner
Fluid 100 – 5” by 5½” – Cut down to 5” by 3” after inking – Rounded lower right corner -the remnant used to die cut the individual blooms
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” Rounded lower right corner
Scrap Fluid 100 & Soft Sea Foam

I began by taking my large F Block and pressing the Blushing Bride ink pad onto it. I then dabbed Highland Heather ink in random spots on the block. I then used a Spritzer to spray the inked bloc with water. I laid the panel of Fluid 100 water color paper on top of the wet ink and allowed it to soak into the paper. This was then set aside to dry.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A smooched Hydrangea card made using the Hydrangea Haven stamp set

I mounted the Hydrangea image onto my Stampartus plate inked it up with Versamark ink, then inked it again with Memento Tuxedo Black ink before stamping it down onto scrap Fluid 100 paper. I used the stamparatus to do this as it can be difficult to get a good, clear stamped image on textured water colour paper and doing it this way would allow me to re-stamp if I needed too. I then covered the stamped image with Clear Embossing Powder and Heat set it using my Heat Tool. This image was then die cut using the Hydrangea Dies. I cut off the bloom using scissors.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A smooched Hydrangea card made using the Hydrangea Haven stamp set

I repeated the same process to stamp the image on the dried water coloured panel. The die cut stalk and leaves were then glued to the panel over top of the stamped image.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A smooched Hydrangea card made using the Hydrangea Haven stamp set

I die cut the strip of flower blossoms a number of times from the left-over inked water coloured card, used a bone folder to curl the petals. The flowers were then added to the head of the hydrangea with Mini Glue Dots.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A smooched Hydrangea card made using the Hydrangea Haven stamp set

The decorated panel was added to the layer of Flirty Flamingo with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I then wrapped some of the lovely Blushing Bride Snail Mail Twine around the panel and tied a bow. The panel was then added to the Soft Sea Foam card base on Dimensionals.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A smooched Hydrangea card made using the Hydrangea Haven stamp set

The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped in Old Olive ink, die cut using the sweet tag from the Hydrangea dies. The tag was added to the card front with a Mini Glue Dot. I used the Flirty Flamingo Blends Markers to colour some Basic Pearls and added them to the centre of each small petal cluster to complete the card.

Such a soft and pretty card, I hope you like it.

Today I am sharing a sweet split panel floral thank you card made using the Art Gallery stamp set and gorgeous Flower & Field designer series paper by Stampin’ Up!

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the floral thank you card, you will need:

I then stamped the more detailed image in Bermuda Bay ink onto the Pool Party flowers. These flowers were then fussy cut out and added overtop of the Granny Apple Green flowers with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive,

www.crafty-rootes.com -A pretty thank you card made using the Art Gallery stamp set and Flower and Field dsp by Stampin’ Up!

Using my Paper Trimmer I cut the panel of Pool Party card at an angle and stamped the sentiment in Bermuda Bay ink along one edge.

www.crafty-rootes.com -A pretty thank you card made using the Art Gallery stamp set and Flower and Field dsp by Stampin’ Up!

The panels were then added to the Pool Party card front using Dimensionals, leaving a gap of about 1” between the two panels. I made sure not to put the Dimensionals too close to the edge of the panels so that I could slide the piece of Flower and Field dsp into the gap gluing it down with the liquid glue and trimming off the excess with Scissors.
