Hydrangea Card

Today I’m sharing another hydrangea card made using soft pink flowers on a cream card base.  I had lots of these small flower leftover from my Vintage Card Design card that I shared earlier this week and wanted to use them up.  I hand cut the flower base to have more of a free form hydrangea instead of using punched circles.  For this card I used the Nested Scallop with Holes, Small Flowers #3, Leaf Group, Branch Shadow Background and a sentiment from the Best Friends set.

The Card Base and Sentiment

• Cut an A2 sized card base and scallop layer using cream cardstock.
• Stamp the Branch Shadow background using Grass ink from the Color Fuse Set #11.
• Use Nocturne ink to stamp the sentiment on the scalloped layer.
• Apply strips of mounting tape to the back of the scallop layer and attach it to the card base.

The Hydrangea and Foliage

• Cut several sets of the Small Flowers #3 using soft pink cardstock. and two sets of the Leaf Group using green cardstock.
• Color each flower center using a green marker.
• Place the flower face up on the molding pad and form them using a small tipped stylus.
• Hand cut a free form base and second small base for the hydrangea.
• Pop up the smaller section in the center of the base using mounting tape.
• Apply glossy accents to the small flowers and attach them all around the base and raised section to fill in the hydrangea.
• Attach the foliage sections to the sentiment layer using glossy accents.
• Apply a large piece of mounting tape to the hydrangea and attach it to the top corner of the sentiment layer.
• Finish by attaching several small flowers to the branches using glossy accents.
