Summer hydrangea card using watercolour

I’ve been through one of those patches where I’m creating lots but never get round to blogging it! I’ve used clever group of hydrangea stamps by inkylicious which allow you to build up an image. I stanped using distress inks.

I have all the Zig art and graphic twin ZIG Art and Graphic watercolour markers and I used various pinks, purples and greens to watercolour. I used my trusty marble heart as my pallette rather than applying the ink directly.

I made the background papers and sentiment using Craft Artist 2. Lots of lovely purples! I matted the layers with platinum silver Centura Pearl card.

As you can see I rounded all the corners with a Corner Punch. I used my round Ranger blending tool (I’m finding this so much easier to get a smooth blend compared to the rectangular one) with Victorian Velvet distress ink to add a hint of colour to the card scallop edges.

Inside the card I used more papers I made up in Craft Artist 2. I forgot to take photos before I wrote in it so I’ve blurred my writing out 🙂

Thank you for such a lovely comment on my blog, Jellie! So encouraging! No worries about not being able to comment. Technology… love it/hate it – how we do depend on it lol!
