Coloured Hydrangea for the Colour Combo Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Colour Combo blog hop and this month we have been given colours that I would never have put together. I have used the gorgeous Hydrangea Haven stamp set to make my coloured Hydrangea card.

Colours used in this project are:

 To recreate the coloured hydrangea card, you will need:

Magenta Madness – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – Rounded upper right corner
Shaded Spruce – 5⅛” by 3⅜” – Rounded upper right corner
Basic White – 5” by 3¼” – Rounded upper right corner
Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper right corner
Flirty Flamingo – 4⅛” by ½”

I mounted the stamp onto the plate of the Stamparatus and placed the smaller Basic White panel on the platform.

Using the Shaded Spruce Stampin’ Write Marker I inked up the stem and leaves of the flower. I stamped it down onto the Basic White panel. I repeated this step to get a darker impression.

I used the Magenta Madness Stampin’ Write Marker to ink up the flower head and again repeated the process to get a good impression. The infill stamp was inked up in Flirty Flamingo ink, I stamped it off onto scrap paper before stamping the colour over the flower head. I used the same 2nd generation Shaded Spruce ink to the leaves and stem using the infill stamp.

The sentiment from the same stamp set was stamped in Magenta Madness ink. The stamped layer was then glued to the Shaded Spruce panel.

I added the strip of Flirty Flamingo card to the Magenta Madness card front and added the stamped panel over top on Dimensionals.

To complete the card, I added a trio of Artistry Blooms Sequins.

Although I would probably never have put these colours together, I actually really like this card.

A pretty birthday card made using the Hydrangea Hill stamp set for the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop

Hydrangea Haven for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

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.

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.
