Hydrangea Hysteria


 Impressive as it looks, the construction of this card is truly a "piece of cake!" We are using the beautiful Thoughtful Branches Stampset with the Beautiful Branches Thinlits.  (Get them while they last!)  We know our Marina Mist hydrangea is sure to be a hit with our Second Thursday Stampers. 


We stamped the flower image on Watercolor Paper which we spritzed liberally with water using our Stampin' Spritzer.  It looks like a blurry mess, but a beautiful thing happens when it is cut out with the Beautiful Branches Thinlits.

 Thoughtful Hydrangea Branch Card

To make this beauty happen, we cut two flower shapes with the Beautiful Branches Thinlits, one of the spritzed Marina Mist Inked water colored page, and one from Marina Mist Card Stock.  A little bit of adhesive and we have an amazing hydrangea bloom!  The leaves, also from our thinlits set and cut out in Pear Pizzazz, are spruced up with some Linen Thread.  Our "thoughtful" message stamped on Very Vanilla Card Stock is from Thoughtful Branches.  We embossed the stamped card stock with the Petal Burst Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, adhered it to some Pear Pizzazz over Marina Mist Card Stock, and topped it all off with our constructed hydrangea.  Pop with Dimensionals or not.  It's up to you.  Wow!  What more can we say?
