Hydrangea Just A Note Bricks Card

I bought this Stampin' Up Set (Thoughtful Branches) specifically to make Hydrangeas which I love. I CASEd this Pinterest Pin. I decided on a bricks background, matted it with a blue pattern cardstock and put that on a white card base. The Hydrangeas were stamped with a very light blue and light lavendar, the closest Stampin' Up colors are stamped off (the first stamp would be too dark, so one stamp on scrap paper, then stamp onto your cardstock) Marina Mist and Wisteria wonder.

I then stamped a bunch of leaves in Garden Green then I die cut the flowers and leaves. I arranged everything and trimmed up the flowers as needed. I used a Gina Marie Stitched Fishtail Banner for the sentiment, and fussy cut the matching blue pattern mat around it. I popped up the flowers and the sentiment for some dimension.

I am entering this project in the following challenges:

• Simon Says Stamp Work It Wednesday - Summer Icons (flowers)
• Your Scrapbook Place - Summer Fun Challenge
• DL.art July Linky Challenge
