Spring always brings garden images to Club Scrap, and I sure could use those right now since I still have a 4 foot lump of snow in my front yard. This kit was the perfect excuse to dust off my crafting table and get a card ready for my dear sister-in-law.
I was inspired by the stencil and tags and decided to make that my focal image. I used some purple painters tape to stabilize the stencil and tag to make it easier to ink.
I used two different shades of purple and green to create a variegated look to the flowers.
I loved the halo around the whole image!
As I was playing with pieces for layering on the card, I decided that a patterned background with text and shapes was what I was needing to contrast with the flowers. I pulled out a variety of Club Scrap stamps and used versamark and purple ink to create a layered background. The center would be covered by the tag, so I didn't worry about it too much.
I wanted the birthday greeting on top of the tag, so I used some peel-off stickers from my stash. These can be easily recolored with alcohol ink, so I colored them to coordinate with the flowers.
To finish the card off, the greeting went on vellum and the glue was hidden behind the peel-off sticker. The ribbon from the kit was perfect to finish things off - it's light enough to wrap around the card and not interfere with mailing.
I hope you're enjoying the Hydrangeas blog hop - I know I'm looking forward to what Deb has in store for us on her blog! If you want to start at the beginning, check out the Club Scrap Creates blog.
