Limelite Hydrangea

This is an easel card that I made for my aunt's 90th b'day. The idea was CASEd from Sandi MacIver. I would link youto her blog but I don't know how to do tht yet. Just google her name and you will find it.

The main colour is pear pizzazz and the image is from 'Because I Care'. I can't remember off the top of my head what set the sentiment is from. The green c/s mat was embossed with the 'Perfect Polka Dot' ef.  I stamped the hydrangea on white c/s, and die cut it with the Spellbinder's Lattice Square die. A larger mat was also die cut. Then I punched out about 50 tiny blossoms using one of the punches from the 'Itty Bitty' 3 pak. I sponged each little flower with pear and old olive, then shaped them all with a stylus. After attaching them to the hydrangea with mini glue dots, I added a small pearl the to center of each blossom. The sentiment label was die cut using a Cuttlebug  folder and sponged with the pear ink. Two pearls were added to it and, after attaching SU 5/8" white organza ribbon, the label was popped up with dimensionals. The lacey mat behind it all was created using a MS around-the-page punch set.  Then the whole thing was attached to a 5 1'4" square white card. Unless stated otherwise, all products used were SU.

If yu click on the picture, you will get a close up that will show the details. Lots of work, but my dear auntie is so worth it. She a like the energizer bunny - just keeps going and going......

Well, off to get some laundry done and then to the links on a glorious, warm and sunny day. Hope you are all having wonderful weather where ever you are.
