Good morning on a lovely rainy day in Pretoria! I have the privilege of looking down into the garden from my workspace on the first floor and hearing the rain and dripping water.
Today's card features hydrangeas made using Lady E's flower 005 (hydrangea) die with the indentations that add so much texture and interest to your flowers because the indentations remain uncoloured when you use a dauber or small sponge to colour the flowers.
I used Heartfelt Creations eyelet circle dies for the "window". The card base is 14,5 cm square. I cut 3 squares of 13,5 cm. The top circle was cut out using the largest die in the set. I used this to mark where the circle had been cut out, to precisely position the second largest die on the second square. This step was repeated with the third largest die. after adhering purple printed paper to the card base, the squares were layered onto the card base with 3D tape, starting with the square with the smallest opening.
The flowers were die-cut from heavy (240gsm) smooth white card stock. Colour was added with daubers. I first added green randomly, with teal ink with a dauber that had previously been used with lime green ink. This resulted in a lovely variation of greens. Then I added Ranger archival deep purple ink. a ball tool was used to shape the petals of the flowers on the back. They were flipped over and pressed down in the centres before adding a bead in the centre of each flower. I also cut some of the smaller leaves in the Flower 005 set, and two twigs, using Lady E Leaf 05 die. The leaves were coloured in the same way that the green was added to the flowers.
The sentiment with "shadow" die is from The Paper Boutique sentiments V set.
Thank you for visiting. I will appreciate you taking a few seconds to leave me a comment.
Have a lovely day
