Today is day one of the two day blog hop celebrating the SSS Always There release. All details about the blog hop are at the bottom of this post. I made the card I’m sharing today using the Gorgeous Hydrangea Embossing Folder and Cutting Dies as shown here:
You can also purchase this set with a matching stencil HERE. I didn’t use the stencil for my card because I like to color too much! Here is my card:
I embossed the Gorgeous Hydrangea EF using white cardstock. I then die-cut the hydrangea bloom that is included with the EF and I embossed that piece. I colored the leaves and stem on the background and the hydrangea from the die-cut image with Copic Markers. I glued the bloom over the background.
I glued Dreamy Blossoms Embellishment Mix over the different mini flowers in the hydrangea. I used just blue and pink ones since those are the colors I used on the hydrangea. I stamped a sentiment using the CZ Inside Greetings 1 stamp using black ink and die-cut it out with the matching dies. I attached that to the bottom of the flower stem. I added some of the new Moonflower Embellishment Mix around the sentiment.
I blogged this card HERE using the Peony and Bells EF and CD as shown here:
On March 31st, I’ll be the guest on the SSS blog. I will have a “one stamp, five ways” post up using the Blooms and Encouragement stamp and die set as well as many of the other products in this release. Here are sneaks of those 5 cards:
