First up, I used Happy Hydrangea to create a bountiful bundle of blossoms. I inked three large blossoms, one in Spring Rain, another in Winter Wisteria and the last in both Spring Rain and Winter Wisteria.
Finished the card off with a die cut bow, stamped in Plum Pudding, and a Think Big Favorites #16 sentiment.
Here's an anniversary card using the Masking stamping technique, to create a single layer hydrangea and frame layout.
Trimmed the edge with an edger die and finished the card off with a Think Big Favorites #16 sentiment, a die cut bow and a rhinestone embellishment.
Pulled out the frame image again for this Hello card. I began by impressing a card front with the new Simple Stripes Impression Plate, creating the look of a paneled wall.
I then created a framed focal point using both the frame and bow dies from the Happy Hydrangea Die Collection.
Last but not least, I was going for more of a modern look. I combined a trio of sentiments, from Fillable Frames Sentiments, Think Big Favorites #16 and Happy Hydrangea.
Then stamped a trio of hydrangeas, using Berry Sorbet, Spring Rain and Melon Berry, to frame the sentiments. Then finished the card off with a few rhinestones.
Well, that's it from me today but do remember... both of these sets will be available for purchase through Papertrey Ink, beginning May 15th. In the mean time, I'd love to know what you think so far, so please share!
