Hydrangea

     This very CAS design is probably my favorite of the things I've made so far this week. Once I had die cut the image and matted it, I knew that had to be the main focus of the design.  The hydrangea image and sentiment are both from Beccy's Place, where the theme is Always Anything Goes with an optional twist - this month the twist is "floral."


Knowing I wanted a simple design, I used the sketch
I found at Paperbabe Stamps.


Colored with ProMarkers and gel inks
Cut with Tonic Studios die
Purple CS frame cut with Tonic Studios die
Gray CS card base
Signature, hand-sewn bow w/ pearl

I love a nice CAS card NC, and yours is perfect. The delicate, scalloped edge looks wonderful around the image frame and I love that deep purple. The little ribbon is a nice finishing touch. Pretty!
Cheers,
Beccy
