Hello and welcome to the Ink, Stamp, Share Blog Hop where our theme is the new January – June and Sale-A-Bration catalogues which have just gone live. So many lovely things in both catalogues and who doesn’t love the opportunity to earn free goodies. I have chosen to use the gorgeous Hydrangea Haven stamp set to work with today.
If you have joined me from the lovely Stacey Marsh, welcome and please continue to hop around the demonstrators and get lots of inspiration.
To recreate Hydrangea Hill card, you will need:
Just Jade card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Flirty Flamingo – 4¾” by 2¾” – rounded lower right corner
Fluid 100 Water Color Paper – 4⅝” by 2⅝” – rounded lower right corner
Scrap Just Jade card
Very Vanilla – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded lower right corner – for the inside
I inked up the pretty hydrangea stamp with Versamark ink and used the Stamparatus to stamp the image onto Fluid 100 Water color paper. I did this twice to ensure that I had a good image on the textured card stock.

The stamped image was then covered with White Embossing Powder and heat set using my Heat Tool.

Using Flirty Flamingo ink, squeezed into the lid of the ink pad and a Water Painter Brush I painted the flower head. As the color dries and added more in selected areas to deepen some of the flowers. I then added some Cherry Cobbler ink to selected areas of the flower. I used the same technique to add Just Jade ink to the stem and leaves.

I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to glue the inked layer to the Flirty Flamingo panel. A piece of pretty Lace trim was then wrapped around the panel, secured on the back with Sellotape and the whole panel was then added n Dimensionals to the Just Jade card base.

The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthdays was stamped in Versamark ink onto scrap Just Jade card, covered with White Embossing Powder and heat set with my Heat Tool. I flagged the end and added the sentiment to the card front on Dimensionals.

To complete the card, I added a double bow using the Snail Mail Trim and a trio of sequins from the Woven Threads Sequins pack.
I absolutely love this card. I hope you like it. Please hop on to see what Kim Price Has to share with us today
