On yesterday’s ‘Live with Michele’ I created this card using the Thankful Garden and Painted Strips by Stampin’ Up! ®.
Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers and come in colours that are soft and subtle to deep and dark…all depending on your soil type.
I created this card using Basic Beige instead of white to give a more earthy tone.
Check out the video below for how I created this card.
Tips
- Let the Ink dry after stamping the strips, this is a wide strip stamp so there is a lot of ink. When dry the colour will soften.
- Take your stencils down so they don’t move on you
- When colouring with your blending brushes work lightly, you can always add more ink but you can’t take it away.
- The softer or lighter in colour your ink to stamp the out line image the softer and natural your completed image will be.
- Play with different colour combinations, Google ‘Hydrangeas’ to see the colour variations.
