 Hi

Another afternoon in my craft room.  Today's card is inspired by Inkspirational shades of blue.

Since I had the SU Thankful Garden stamp, stencil and die set out; I used it again; this time the second image. I do love a hydrangea. I started with Balmy Blue SU card stock. I stenciled the confetti with one of the stencils in the Celebration Steamers set. The white I used is from Hammermill. The bloom was stenciled with Altenew inks in Olive and Moss; Iceberg, Eastern Sky, Ultamarine. Black ink was both Versafine Tuxedo Black and Memento Black Onyx. The sentiment is from Waffle Flower - Birthday Wishes. The embossed panel is from SU's Lovely Stripes and cut with SSS's Chunky A2 Scalloped Rectangles. The rounded gems are from Pink Fresh.
 

Thanks much for stopping by.

Such a pretty embossed background for this blue hydrangea, Cat! I think you'll get a lot of use from this stamp set!

Oooh, another pretty flower from the same set! Love this one in blues. I've spent a good part of my day in my stamp room. Catching up on commenting, then online shopping for my friend's birthday. Did a few chores and took the dogs for a walk and came right back here. It's a rare day. Making progress! I'm so glad to see you again, Cat!

Cat, this is my second look at that fun striped embossing, and it has found its way onto my ever-growing wish list! Just a fabulous bit of interest added to an already fun panel... gorgeous Hydrangeas in blues!

I have made it to your blog. About time I hear you say! Things are settling down a bit here so I have a little more time. This card is so pretty. I love hydrangeas and all that blue. Your white scalloped and embossed panel works really well behind the flower. Stunning. I am glad you have found some mojo and are enjoying the snowy winter xx
