Hi Sue. This was one of my favourite dies in my favourite section of the April launch, it's so clever and like the tree, it's one that no other die designer has bought to the craft world with all those petals that lift up. I grew up with at least 6 hyndrangea bushes in the front garden that my late mum nurtured and that I use to love jumping over lol I'm not only looking forward to watching your tutorial but also to the day I own this beautiful one of its kind die. Have a lovely day xxx
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card,love the colours that you have used for the hydrangea.
ReplyDeleteWonderful card today! Love the blue and pink Hydrangea and the glittery marble background, so pretty. Debra x

Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteThank you a beautiful card and great die set.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Hello Sue, beautiful card and the background is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteMarion S x
Lovely card!!
ReplyDeleteAnd a beautiful card to match the sentiment. x
ReplyDeleteThank you once again for telling us the colors you used, both for the sparkly marble background and the realistic hydrangea.
ReplyDeleteI've seen some magnificent hydrangeas on professionally cared-for yards in the expensive houses next to the water. Just glorious!
Haven't tried growing them because they seem too scientific. I wouldn't have the first idea. Same with broccoli. Wouldn't know how to grow all those little broccles.
Anyway, your paper hydrangea are much less intimidating. Although I don't have aluminum sulfate, I do have Distress Oxides. So thanks for letting us join the game!
And I love your background technique! It really is lovely. I never would have thought of sprinkling glitterbitz into marble, but it makes sense! Some marbles do sparkle with mica flecks.
This is an interesting card, and so educational!
Thank you.
Enjoy your Monday-with-a-vengeance on Tuesday.
Best to all,
Donita
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a beautiful card today with the Hydrangea, wonderful colouring and will be watching the video later to see this new technique.

Hugs,Rose
Absolutely love that background made with the crackle stamp, it looks amazing with the finish of glitter bitz.....stunning card Sue...the hydrangea die is a def on my list....luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteHello Sue
ReplyDeleteI love the effect of the background but I wouldn't get enough use from the die to buy it.
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card and die. I will watch the video later. I have lots to catch up on as we have just returned from a fantastic holiday in Italy to celebrate our pearl wedding anniversary. On the day we had lunch in Sorrento overlooking the bay of Naples and it was so beautiful. We spent a lot of time out of the hotel so the Internet wasn’t great, but I popped in for a quick peak when I could.
Love Helen xxx
Background looks great - faux marble. Your hydranga die cut is so clever to have all those separate florets beable to pop up. Enjoyed your video, thank you.
ReplyDeleteLovely card. Do like the background you have made with Lisa's stamp.
ReplyDeleteTeresa
Hi Sue. Although the hydrangea is not one of my favourite flowers I was so intrigued to see how you had done the crackle background given the trouble I had had with it. I watched the video and was so surprised that you had done it with a stamp! How easy it is. I shall have to invest in this stamp set.
ReplyDeleteLisbeth
Wow I love the 3demos element to this one absolutely fabulous card love it xxx
ReplyDeleteLol 3d

Hi Sue, I love hydrangeas, love this card and the die which will hopefully come to me before too long. The background is brilliant, I did not guess that it was a stamp and will have to look out for that also. Thanks for the video tip about lifting the petals and mixing the oxides.
ReplyDeleteFrances

Lovely hydrangea card and an amazing background.
ReplyDeleteDonita, hydrangeas are so easy to grow they even stand up to my neglect. Cuttings root in a jar of water.
Take care everyone.
Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteYou have certainly captured the beauty of the hydrangea with this beautiful card and the way that you have cleverly designed the die. Makes it look like an actual snowball hydrangea. The background frames it so well and thanks for sharing how to create it in the video.
Have a wonderful day.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteMy what a beautiful card, when I first looked at it, I thought it will take a good bit of my knowledge to do this, not easy, but after watching the video, simple to do. Thank you so much for the video, it helps me a lot.
Hydrangea was my dad's favourite flower and now I can see why!
Thanks Sue for all your inspiration.
