For this card the base card is Purple Posy, layered with Old Olive and then Hydrangea Hill DSP. It has some lovely colours including the purple tones as well as soft blues. The hydrangea flower posy was also fussy cut from this DSP and I have added leaves using dies from the Forever Fern and Magnolia Memory bundles in Highland Heather and Old Olive cardstock.
To finish I added some Gorgeous Grape Sheer ribbon tied with Whisper White Twine which are both found in the Mini Catalogue. I have also added some Opal Rounds to the card for some sparkle as these have opalescent glitter through them.
The birthday greeting is from the Friends Are Like Seashells bundle, which I can't wait to play with next (hopefully!), and stamped in Highland Heather ink colour. It was then cut using a die from Tasteful Labels set. That stamp set and the Hydrangea Hill DSP are both found in the January - June Mini Catalogue.

So elegant and just beautiful Rosa! I really like the way you've tied your gorgeous grape ribbon with the bakers twine. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful Purple Posy project with us all tonight x
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautiful! The layering is gorgeous, and I love the ribbon and twine combo.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really beautiful card, Rosa! I am so pleased you used the hydrangea products; I planned to, then thought everyone might choose them ... and you're the only one who has featured them. Love what you have done with the DSP, ribbon and die cuts. The composition of your card is lovely.
ReplyDeleteA lovely card Rosa. I love your use of the Hydrangea DSP with the die cut pieces and ribbon & twine combo. Gorgeous. xxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Rosa, I haven't got the Hydrangea bundle but you are making me want it.
ReplyDeleteYour card is perfectly balanced with all those different elements. Such a nice sentiment too.
ReplyDeleteYes, I thought many of the team would use the Hydrangea suite, but surprised they haven't for tonight's CCS. I love what you have created with these products. A lovely rich combination of colour.
ReplyDeleteA lovely card Rosa. The ribbon and twine element looks very sweet and complements the little hydrangea posy.
ReplyDeleteI love your card, Rosa, and your use of the DSP for the background and centrepiece. Love the sentiment as well - thanks for sharing!
