This started with my little hydrangea stamp I picked up in Cape Cod a few years ago. I'll never forget the beautiful blue hydrangea bushes I saw on Nantucket. When I found it in the neatest stamp store in Hyannis, I new I had to have it. It's by Inkadinkado and I just love it!! I stamped it repeatedly to create my own patterned paper then gave it a striped and blue border. Both borders were cut using Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Borders 2 (straight line stitch) and 4 (scallop) dies. The sentiment (Hero Arts) was stamped onto Blackberry Bliss paper and embossed in white. The paper looks black here, but I promise it's Blackberry Bliss!! To mimic the sparkle in the inspiration photo, I added PPP Sparkling Clear sequins (4mm & 6mm).
You know you want to play along after seeing these pretty colors..am I right!! Can't wait to see your card in our gallery. Have a great day ~Lisa

Oh Lisa this is gorgeous! Hydrangeas are my absolute favorite flower. I love the background you made and the color is perfect. I tried to look up this stamp with no luck. Is there a name on the stamp, I just typed in Inkadinkado hydrangea. I love this stamp. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.
