My cards inspiration today is from SCS CC230, even though I didn’t use Blush Blossom. The colors were…
I’ve been wanting to use the Hydrangea from SU’s Bloomin’ Beautiful set. My card isn’t totally SU, because I used the Butterfly Punch from Marvy. Nor is the ‘gift tag’ on the vase of hydrangea’s. I got the little gift tag dies from QVC, a long time ago and they are no longer available. I don’t remember the name, if I do I’ll post it.
The card base is Close to Cocoa, textured. I then layered Whisper White textured with the Cameo Coral Flowers from Pink Flamingo DSP. On top of that I layered Cameo Coral textured and Close to Cocoa textured with an Oval cut large enough to be the background for the Hydrangea clusters out of Whisper White textured. The Close to Cocoa strip across the front is the base for the Delicate Dots Wheel inked in Certainly Celery on Whisper White textured, to match the leaves in the vase. The flower centers are from my white, extra fine point Sharper Poster Paint Marker. I have one of every size, they are wonderful white opaque markers. The butterflies are cut from Whisper White textured cardstock that I ran the Delicate Dots Wheel over in Cameo Coral. I then positioned the punch around the flowers and had polka dot butterflies.
No tips today, but does anyone know what's missing from my card? Nope, I’m not giving you one ‘sparklin’ clue. *smile* The hydrangea is colored with Cameo Coral Re-inker and Pure Acetone with a touch of the Cameo Coral Marker for more depth. You can find the tutorial here for the Coloring Technique, its called Copycat Copics by Donna Centamore. I purchased my Pure Acetone from Sally Beauty Supply. This technique is very fun and forgiving. The leaves are the Certainly Celery Marker.
I also cut out and popped some individual flowers on the flower cluster.
