Elegant Hydrangea

Mornin' y'all and happy Friday!  I've been working in my craft room, but still focusing on scrapbook pages, so I've made just one card this week.


I was inspired by the Color Throwdown challenge to pull out these elegant colors!


I used Night of Navy, Pretty Peacock, and Crushed Curry for my colors.  I stamped off once for the Pretty Peacock leaves or else I think they would have overpowered the Crushed Curry hydrangea.  Which reminds me, I need to re-ink my Crushed Curry and Night of Navy ink pads.

I also used this week's Freshly Made Sketch:


I traced a dinner plate and just cut with scissors to get the curve.

I chose the birthday sentiment so this would fit with the Global Design Project theme challenge:


And as luck would have it, Just Add Ink is doing the same theme!


I like the picture on their graphic, maybe I'll make time this weekend to make a card using the picture as inspiration.

Hope you have a great weekend, y'all!

Supplies, all SU!
Stamps:  Beautiful Friendship, Seaside Notions
Ink:  Crushed Curry, Night of Navy, Pretty Peacock
Paper:  Night of Navy, Shimmery White, Pretty Peacock DSP

    This is such a lovely stamp set - I have been using it this week too. I also am happy to hear that you used a Dinner plate to create your curve, because that's what I did too. Lovely card. Chantell Just Add Ink

    Such a beautiful card Christy! I love how you've created layers of ink for your hydrangea bloom and the softness of the leaves. Your curve and patterned paper give such a great contrast too. Thanks for sharing with us and our special celebration challenge at Just Add Ink.
