I have had some extra playtime ( wahoo!!) and managed to ink up this gorgeous hydrangea that I was given for my birthday by my good friend and SU Demo Ann.
Hydrangeas are such a lovely vintage type flower and I instantly fell in love with this set when I saw it.
I used Tsukineko Versafine Ink in Majestic Blue and Spanish Moss - gorgeous to use, I applied the Blue ink to the flower head and then lighly added the green around the leaves - not precision but effective and oh so quick!!
The image has been cut out and embossed using the Classic Oval Nestibilitie and the Spellbinders Grand Calibur - what a fabulous tool - every DieCut comes out with crisp edges and the embossed edge - is etched deeply - I love it!
The DP is White Core Card Stock that has been run through the Cuttlebug with the Tim Holtz Flourishes Embossing Folder (YUMBLY!) and lightly sanded to show the fabulous blue underneath - yet another product I love! LOL!
The lace is from my stash, along with the button!! This quick and easy card has taken on a very 'Shabby Chic' flavour - I am happy with that!!
