Hydrangea

 I do not have one of these trees but the person that received this card does and I didn't realize I hadn't made her a card using my stamp yet, I have had this stamp for awhile now so it is always nice to get an oldie out and let it shine again :) Before I took the cardstock out of the die I did a little inking in the open spots of the frame.


  • Rubber Stampede - Hydrangea stamp, colored w/markers
  • Spellbinders - A2 Divine Eloquence die, inking through die cut
  • Stamps of Life - Postmarks2stamp sentiment stamp
  • Martha Stewart - tag punch
  • Recollections - Gem

 I am sharing my card today with Sisterhood of Crafters Birthday

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,

Connie

Oh, Connie, this is so beautiful! Your coloring is lovely, and I like the way you inked through the die, which is still a favorite in my collection. I know your friend loved it!

This card feels like a quiet celebration of beauty and memory—your choice to revisit a beloved stamp adds such warmth to the gesture. The inking through the die creates a lovely softness that frames the hydrangea so elegantly, and your coloring brings out its charm with such grace. That little tag detail and the gem add just the right touch of sparkle and personality. A truly thoughtful and artful creation.
