Hello everyone…welcome to May!
Gosh we are getting on with the year – it’s crazy to think we are already in the fifth month of the year! I love May – because here in Australia it’s the month of celebrating mother’s!
In May particularly so – it’s mother’s day as well as my mother’s birthday! – and mother’s day here of course for me. Today features a bit of that theme with a card that is totally appropriate for any mother (or lovely woman you know!)
This month we are featuring our favourite flower bundles and this month I have chosen to feature the beautiful Hydrangea Haven bundle that is carrying over to the new Annual Catalogue that is going live in just a few days! YAY!
This bundle is just GORGEOUS and I absolutely loved playing with it. This blog hop shows you just some of the fun possibilities. If you receive or purchase the tutorial – there are even more ideas from both myself and the other designers!

Let’s have a look at todays’ fun project…
Here’s a look at the finished card. I really wanted to make the colours POP on this card. I was really inspired by a hydrangea I saw online for this card with bright GREEN colours, we often think of purples when we think of hydrangeas – so I wanted to do something a little bit different.
To achieve this slightly different hydrangea look, I have die cut out my base hydrangea and lots of little hydrangeas and before sticking them down – I have taken my Blending Brush and some Pacific Point Ink and blended the edges slightly before adhering them down and then adding a Basic Rhinestone Jewel to the centre which I have also coloured with a dark Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blend.
The background of the card I have achieved by embossing a layer of the Coastal Cabana cardstock with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder.
Here’s a close up look at the finished card. I used the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and one of the gorgeous labels, which I have also die cut from Coastal Cabana.
I have adhered this on Stampin’ Dimensionals over some of the gorgeous White Flowers for Every Season Ribbon and Linen Thread. This provided a nice ‘base’ from my focal point to go on.
My sentiment is ‘To an Incredible Woman’ – so appropriate for those mother’s day cards out there! and I have heat embossed this white on Basic Black.
Here’s a look at the inside of my card which I have kept simple with layers of Sahara Sand and Basic White with a simple strip of Coastal Cabana and a little bit of Linen Thread. I have then added some simple stamping from the Hydrangea Haven stamp set with some leaves stamped in Memento Black and Granny Apple Green.
I then added an additional sentiment stamped in Coastal Cabana.
I hope you got some inspiration and enjoyment out of today’s card share.
