Flourishing Hydrangeas

Today I am sharing a  card with you that I have just finished creating for my Card Design Class tomorrow night.
 
 
 
One of the ladies asked if I can show them how to create a Waterfall Card, I had to do a little 'research' and this is what I came up with.
 
 
 
 
I have a tutorial ready to show you very soon.  I was pleasantly surprised how easy is to get this cascading effect.  I have used the Hydrangea stamp set from Flourishes llc it works perfectly as you can see from the following photos showing you the various steps of the waterfall.


 
 
 

 
 
The images have been coloured in using SU Chalks/Pastels and had 3D Kindy Glitz added to the centres for that sparkle.

 

The vintage lace is from my stash and the bling is from Want2Scrap, I don't seem to be able to create a card without adding bling these days - love the stuff!
 
This card is for the following challenges:
Through The Craft Room Door - Always Anything Goes!
Love to Create - Anything Goes 
Make it Monday - always Anything Goes
Simon Says Stamp and Show - Vintage/Shabby Chic - Sparkle 
Stamptacular Sunday - Bling It On 
Heck of a Challenge - Anything goes
Unique Crafters Challenge - Anything Goes 
Avadares – Make It Sparkle

Thank you for your comments and all of the support you give me - you make blogging such an amazing place to be!! Your encouragement is such a blessing for me - it makes my day! God bless you!

    Lovely design, Linda. I love how you tucked the bottom into the button closure. Waterfall cards can be tricky, but you seem to have gotten it just right.

    I think this is the most ornate waterfall card I've ever seen. The Hydrangea are a wonderful choice for this style of card and the embellishments, so classy!

    Thank you so much for taking the time to link up your talent and creative ideas with us at Make It Monday!
    Happy Crafting...
