Hydrangea Hill Mother's Day Card

I was not immediately drawn to this DSP but I won a pack at a games night hosted by a friend and when I got it into my hands I was quite taken with it. I really wanted to show the gorgeous floral images, I figured at the same time I could show that a masculine stamp set could be featured on a feminine card.

Supplies

1 - 8 1/2"x 11" sheet of cardstock

1 - 5 1/2"x 1" strip of Hydrangea Hill DSP

1 - 3/4"x 4  1/4" strip of Basic White cardstock

Scrap piece of Basic White cardstock

Scrap piece of Hydrangea Hill DSP (for the fussy cut flowers)

Memento Black ink

Whiskey Business stamp set

Instructions

Take the 8 1/2"x11" sheet of cardstock cut it down to 8 1/2"x5 1/2" and score that at 4 1/4" on the long side.

I then took the Whiskey Business stamp set and I stamped the decanter in Memento Black ink. I then fussy cut the image. While I was at it I took my piece of Hydrangea Hill DSP and cut out the floral image.

For the sentiment on this card I chose to print it off. I have a tutorial which you can find here, which tells you exactly how I go about doing this. But you can use any stamp you want.

I then adhered the 1" strip of DSP to the left side of the card front. I then adhered the decanter to the card front layering it so about only half of it was on the DSP. I then adhered the floral image to the top of the decanter. I then layered the sentiment strip placing it at about the half way mark on the rectangular part of the decanter.

Step It Up

To take this card to the next level you could always use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the florals. It would also be super cute to add a bow to the neck of the decanter.

Using either a Stampin' Blend or Stampin' Write Marker you could also draw green lines in the decanter to give the illusion of stems.

The Hydrangea Hill DSP is gorgeous paper. This DSP has such nice, subtle designs that are very easy to use. You can snag a pack of this paper here.

Happy Paper Crafting!
