Hydrangeas from vellum paper


Hi, is Vladka


Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers. I like them in all colors. At home, we have blue, pink and violet variations and they were my inspirations this time. You know, how pink blossoms are green first and then slowly change their color to pink. I tried to imitate something like this:

(Photo is from this side)

I created them with vellum paper. Let me show you how I did it.

Basics:
White card base: 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches (cut 5 1/2 x 11 inches, fold in half)
Additional piece of white cardstock (5 x 5 inches)
Vellum paper to cut out the flowers.

Other Supplies:
CottageCutz Dies: Listed Below
Distres markers: Peeled Paint and Mowed Lawn
Copic markers: Y17, G21, E04, R29
Other: Gold Glimmer Spray, Scissors, Paper trimmer, Sizzix machine, Scor-buddy,


1. With 3D Flower #5 die, cut second and third biggest petals out with vellum paper. Repeat this till you have at least 15 petals.
2. On the back side of the petal, color the middle of the petal with copic Y17:


3. Take green copic marker G21 and color all the petal as shown on the photo:


4. Take marker E04 and color the above part of the petals:


5. Take the last copic marker, the red one and color just petals's borders:


6. Now it is time to repeat steps 2,3 and 4 in opposite way. So, let´s start with pink copic marker (E04) in color the above part of the petal again to erase the hard borders between the colors. Do the same with green and yellow one. Namely, the copics work a little bit different on vellum paper. They don´t blend as they normally do. So, you can move the colors a little bit. Here is the difference between the petal from the previous stage (left one) and the one which is already colored with E04 again (right one).


7. With Leaves and Stems die cut leaves out with vellum paper. Also leaves can be colored with two shades of green copic markers, but I used Distres markers instead: Peeled Paint and Mowed Lawn. I colored all the leaves on the backside with both markers.


8. Use also Rose Doily die and cut it out of vellum paper and glue all the petals and leaves on it as shown on the photo:


9. Add some splodges with Gold Glimmer Spray on Additional piece of white cardstock. You can use any other spray for this or you can add splodges also with paint brush and distress inks or any other watercolors. Let it to dry.


10. With Cross-Stitched Square Set (Basics) cut the second biggest square out with white cardstock. Glue die cut pieces on the square and the all together on additional piece of white cardstock and the on the card base. With Expressions Congratulations cut the word out with white cardstock and glue it on the top of the card across the flowers.

Card is finished. I hope you like it.

Tea Time



Hello Scrapping Cottage Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. It's Mary Marsh here bringing you the Wednesday edition of the Blog. 

Today for your viewing pleasure, I am featuring another of the April release dies. This time it's the "rose doily" die. It's temporarily sold out but you can preorder it for the next shipment. I paired it up with the teapot & teacup die to create a many occasions type card.

This week I had an idea of what I wanted to create. When that happens with me, I look through my patterned paper stash first to see what paper I might want to use. Then from there I choose my cardstock and any other matching embellishments I might have.

I found this patterned paper that I have had for a few years and I knew I had some matching ribbon. Then my idea really started to take shape.  So without further ado lets get started with some details on just exactly what I did here this week.


Cardstock and Patterned Paper Measurements:
peach card base measures 4 1/4" x 11" and scored at 5 1/2"
patterned paper measure 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
green embossed panel: 2" x 4 1/8"

When I was thinking about my layout, I decided to take a piece of green cardstock that matches the patterned paper and emboss it. Just for some added texture and interest on my card.

 
I then started the initial assembly process by attaching the peach ribbon to my patterned paper and then to the card base. At this point I also attached the embossed panel. And from there moved onto my doily. I thought a white doily would look best and that would allow me to cut my teapot and cups in a color. I just love this new rose doily die. It's a 3 1/2" size and that makes it so perfect for an A2 card.
 
I cut my teapot and teacup die in the peach cardstock. This is one of the petite dies but there is such detail on both the pot and the cups. I decided to use a small leaf stamp that I had and stamp the pot and cups with green ink. Again, I just do some things for added interest. I tried cutting in a patterned paper but it was just too busy with my background paper.
 
 
 
I attached the doily with some dimensional adhesive for some card depth. I  stamped my sentiment and added it onto a flag and attached to my card. I created this card for my friend as a thinking of you type card. She holds an annual Christmas Tea and she love all types of tea accessories and cards.
To finish off my card, I added some small amber rhinestones to the doily and my sentiment flag.
 
 
Well Friends that's my card for today. I hope this provided some inspiration for you. The April release is filled with  awesome dies to help you create some gorgeous floral cards. Check it out.
 
If you have any questions about any of the cards I create or would like something explained, just leave a comment. I will get back to you. So until next time.......inky hugs!!!
