Pink Hydrangea

I'm taking a break today from Christmas cards to share a refreshing spring card that I made awhile back for a magazine submission - but sadly, it wasn't picked up. But I still love this card and hope that you will too!

1. Die cut the French Lattice from green patterned paper, back with a rectangle, cut to the same size as the die cut in the matching patterned paper.
2. Hand stitch a seed bead at each intersection of the die cut.To make it easier to line up, poke a hole with the needle from the top towards the bottom, and then bring your needle up from the back and add a bead.
3. Die cut 15 small flowers, in pink cardstock from the Embellishment #2 die.Cup the flowers using a stylus and foam mat.Cut a small Styrofoam ball in half, and glue flowers onto ball.After glue is dry, add a small pearl to the center of each flower.
4. Tuck leaves under hydrangea and glue to the center of the card.

 

The new challenge this week is Lots of Layers - that should be fun! Be sure to play along for your chance to win a $20 gift certificate!
