One Hydrangea ~ Two Ways..Prismas and Copics


  Hello Friends,

  Today I have two clean and simple cards to share using one of my all time favorite stamps.... Impression Obsession's  Dried Hydrangea L6001.  I colored this one with Prisma Colored Pencils and Gamsol and added some rhinestones to the center of the blossoms.  Using a Black Soot Distress marker I colored directly on Impression Obsession' s Precious Treasure B13027 only the word friendship.  I love these new IO Flag Dies -DIE015-F !  They layer up so nicely !! I did some sponging with  Antique Linen Distress Ink and Memento Bamboo Leaves on the card stock and some Memento Rose Bud on the ribbon.  A very simple card!
I inked up the Hydrangea with Antique Linen and stamped off once on scrap paper before stamping the inside of the card. Nice and lightly inked so whatever I write in the card will still be easily read.

 I am entering this in the Forever Friends ~ Anything Goes  challenge.

 Here is the second card.....

  
I do love how differently one image can look just with the medium of choice and colors!  This is the same Hydrangea colored with Copics.  This is a blatant case of a card I made last year, but I needed a 90th birthday card in a hurry and seem to have very little time. I added some pearls, Sizzix Die Cut numbers and a tiny baby blue gingham bow.  The Cuttlebug Corners have been cut down to fit my card.  This is such a fun stamp to color!


I am entering this card in the....
Craft Us Crazy ~ Favorite Color and/or Holiday Theme  challenge. My favorite color is blue (this month~LOL).

I am entering both of these cards in Scrapbooker's Paradise - Case yourself. 

  Thanks for stopping by and have a most marvelous day!

Ellen

  14. Land sakes, your hydrangeas are STUNNING, Ellen! I especially love the vibrant blue. I really like how you watermarked the image on the inside so you can still write your note without it taking up space. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
