Happy Sunday!
This week, Joanne is hosting our monthly Color Challenge.
As soon as I saw these colors, i couldn’t wait to create with them! They are SO pretty together and perfect for the Spring season. They also happen to be featured in the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper, so that was an added bonus. I actually purchased the DSP but not the stamp set and dies. I’m finding that the paper works really well with lots of other sets like the In Bloom stamp set and coordinating Pierced Blooms Dies.
*I’ve listed all of the measurements and details for my card below and there is a full supply list at the very end of this post.
This card also uses the Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Designer Acetate Paper, which is what I used on the stitched circle. The paper has a soft shine which really adds elegant detail. It comes with two colors in the pack, Highland Heather and Rococo Rose. The mercury glass adds such a nice touch to this card in person, along with the Wink of Stella glitter I added to some of the flowers. That’s kind of tough to see in the photos but trust me, that sparkly detail really pops. I really like the way this card came out and I hope you do as well!

Finally a peek inside the card! I used another strip of that gorgeous DSP and die cut flowers and leaves. Since this could be a congratulations card suitable for a few different occasions, I just left the rest blank to either add a sentiment later or simply write a handwritten note for the occasion.
