Instructions: Cut a piece of white cardstock to 12 x 6", score and fold at 6". Trim a blue hydrangea paper from the Cottage Garden Collection to 5 7/8 x 5 7/8" size. Sponge the edges with the Manganese Blue ink and attach onto card base.
Stamp the cottage window from HCPC-3902 Cottage Window & Hydrangea Cling Stamp Set in Sepia ink onto Deluxe Flower Shaping paper and diecut with coordinating die. Stamp the hydrangea sprays from the same stamp set in two-tone inks of Manganese Blue and Leaf Green on the cardstock and diecut with coordinating dies. Stamp the hydrangea petals from HCPC-3900 Cottage Garden Hydrangea in Manganese Blue ink onto the cardstock and diecut with coordinating die. Use the HCD1-7203 Ornamental Tags Die to diecut small ‘thanks’ tag from the paper collection. Tie a little string to tag. Cut a scene from the paper to fit behind the window.
Use the Stack and Store daubers to color the images. Use the Manganese Blue on the edges of the cottage window. Use the Manganese Blue and Tea Rose on the birds. Use Manganese Blue and Vivid Chartreuse on the hydrangeas and petals. Use Leaf Green on the leaves and edges of the ‘thanks’ tag. Place the hydrangea petals in the Hydrangea Shaping Mold, lightly mist with water and send through die cutting machine. Finish shaping petals and hydrangea with the stylus from Deluxe Flower Shaping kit. Pierce a hole through the center of petals and thread the rock candy stamen through, attaching with hot glue. Use glue and dimensional adhesive to attach everything onto card as pictured.
Use the Dries Clear glue along with the Bella Yella glitter to add sparkle over the hydrangea, leaves, window and rest of card as desired.
