SSS Hydrangea Blooms - Wednesday Challenge

Welcome!

I've had this beautiful stamp and die set since Stamptember 😆 of 2016, it was definitely time for a card! My inspiration came from the gorgeous card that Nicole Spohr created for the Stamptember release. 

I combined the Hydrangea Blooms set with the SSS You Matter background, stamp set and die. I stamped the background on Neenah Desert Storm 80 lb card and embossed it with detail white embossing powder. I stamped the happy birthday sentiment from the set on black card and cut it into a strip to go across the front. I die cut the "You" from white fun foam and a piece of dark purple card I had in my stash.

The blooms were stamped on Strathmore ready cut watercolor card with SSS intense black ink and colored with my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolor set. The leaves I stamped with Tim Holtz distress inks in a couple different shades of green; bundled sage, forest moss, and shabby shutters. I added some sparkle to the flowers with my Spectrum Noir crystal clear marker. Lastly, I added the Pretty Pink Posh 4 mm droplets for accent.

Thanks for stopping by! See you next time!
