My dear wee Mum grew the most spectacular white hydrangeas & seeing them always reminds me of her, so of course I had to make a white hydrangea card. Sadly, she can't remember her hydrangeas now but I do & hope to have some beautiful blooms when Summer comes this year to share with her. In the meantime, I can make white hydrangeas to my heart's content.
Back to the card - it's a large one - about 15cm or a smidge under 6 inches square. I really wanted to include 2 hydrangeas & they just needed a bit more space than a regular size could give.
The flower heads have 3 layers, popped on dimensionals - pear pizzazz, vellum & a shimmery white card top & the stems are wild wasabi. I 'poked' the white layer flower centres with the rounded end of my paper piercing tool to give some subtle shaping. The flowers are lovely & shimmery in real life thanks to the shimmery white & pearls but tricky to see in pics.Try clicking on this one to see more.
The rest of the card had to play nicely with the hydrangeas so I chose a neutral graphic print in tip top taupe & white (from Serene Scenery dsp stack). I like that the circles kind of reflect the flower shape. I repeated the circle for the sentiment using the Layered Circle dies.
Finally, I carried the theme to the inside with some more paper, ribbon & leaves.
