Hydrangea Haven Ornate Frame

As I get a new stamp set or bundle, I like to sit down and "get to know" it.  Yesterday, I sat down to "get to know" the new Hydrangea Haven Bundle! I usually begin by cutting out all the die pieces.  There are frequently some surprises, and these dies were no exception.  So, I set out to explore all these pieces and came up with 4 cards.  Each one has a different "Hydrangea" design. You are going to have to have this bundle!!  The flower is a nice size and all of the components and colors are just GORGEOUS!! (I'm posting this one, first, because it was my Mom's favorite!  She LOVES those frames! Can't say I blame her! They are a MUST HAVE!!)

Measurements:  

  • Gorgeous Grape: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
  • Hydrangea Hill DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4"
  • Whisper White: 3 1/2" x 5" (frame),3 1/4" x 4 1/4" (flower
  • Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Designer Acetate (N): 2 1/4" x 3 5/8"             
To Make this Card.

  • Attach DSP to folded Gorgeous Grape card.
  • Cut Ornate Layer from Whisper White piece.  Attach Mercury Glass Acetate with Mini Glue Dots on the 4 corners.
  • Stamp full flower onto piece of white. Use Sponge Daubers to add Old Olive to the leaves, and Hightland Heather & Gorgeous Grape to the Flower.  Cut out with corresponding die.  Snip off flower at base of stem, so the flower fits better on the "frame".  
  • Attach "stem" to layer. Then add "flower" over stem with Dimensionals.
  • Attach this piece to card with Dimensionals.
  • Tie a bow in new Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon. Attach to card, where desired, with Mini Glue Dots.
