Becky's Stampin' Studio: Hydrangea Haven Joy Fold

This is another neat card with the Hydrangea Haven Bundle. This flower has some noticeable detail, with the addition of extra flowers - which are included in the dies! I started with a strip of cardstock that I colored with purple ink and sponge daubers. Cut out with the strip die. And then shaped with a piercing pad (which are still available as a write in) and stylus. I also used the more detailed die for the stem and leaves! Pair it with the interesting Joy Fold, and you have a really impressive card!

Gorgeous Grape: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 3 1/8" x 8 1/2"

To Make this Card:

Fold the Gorgeous Grape base in half. Trim away 2 3/4". Crease well with Bone Folder. Attach Highland Heather and DSP to front flap.
Fold Gorgeous Grape strip in half. Crease well with Bone Folder. Attach Highland Heather piece and Whisper White piece. Attach this card to base card as shown, in a portrait orientation. You will want to use a stronger adhesive, like Seal+ or Tear Tape.
Stamp full flower onto piece of white with Memento Black. Use Sponge Daubers to add Old Olive to the leaves. Color the flower with Hightland Heather & Gorgeous Grape. Cut out with corresponding die. Cut the 3 leaves from the "flower" and toss the stem.
Color a long, narrow scrap of white with both purple inks and sponge daubers. You do not want this overly solid, but some varigated color. Cut out with long strip of flowers. Shape these with a Piercing Mat and Stylus. Set aside.
Cut out the "detailed stem/leaves" from Old Olive cardstock.
Lay the "flower" over the white piece. Tuck the stamped and trimmed leaves underneath. Then, add "detailed leaves over it all in a pleasing manner. Adhere to card.
Take small, shaped flowers and scatter onto "flower". Attach with Mini Glue Dots. Add bitty pearls to the centers - or black ink dots, or whatever you'd like!
