I am so excited for today's and tomorrow's stamp sets....because they are all about HYDRANGEAS!! You are going to flip out over these new sets and dies too! You know how much I love hydrangeas!

Today I'm featuring a new set from the Whimsical Wishes by Nancy McKinney collection called Forever in Bloom - It is a Full size set of 16 images/sentiments. There are open line images to color plus solid images to ink up, rock'n'roll,  color with markers, and so many other stamping techniques to try. And of course we have a set of matching dies. Hydrangea Blooms -
set of 4 dies to coordinate with
Forever in Bloom
. I used the stamps and dies together to make this card to share:

 

 

 

See how perfectly the dies cut around the images!? This was so fun to make. I loved layering all those gorgeous flowers together with the bright green leaves...

 

 

 

The sentiments in this set are beautiful....I mounted mine onto a pearl pin. Can you see the Musical Swirls Impression Plate I used for my background? That's a favorite TE product from last Christmas and it's so classy.

 

 

Here are photos of the dies and the impression plate....

 

 

 

 

I put one flower directly onto the background, popped the next one up on one layer of foam tape, and the third one is popped up on two layers of foam tape...Gives so much dimension!

 

 

 

 

 

 

So while I was in the craft room putting this post together...an idea struck me...so I grabbed my camera and headed out to my front yard to take some photos to share with you! As you see, I really am crazy about hydrangeas!! These are my prized Nikko Blues... Hope you enjoy a few pictures along with your card post today! hee hee.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now I have already seen everyone else's projects for today....and I'm telling you that you need to get going and take a gander! Wow! Have a blessed day and thanks for stopping in!

Love your beautiful photos! I am somewhat of a photography buff so I appreciate the attention to detail. Also, as I've scrolled through your blog, I love it that you use some of the paper and embellishments from your projects in your photo. Hope it's ok if I copy that idea.

[Audrey Pettit]

So, so beautiful, Wanda! Just makes me happy to look at all your sweet flowers....real and stamped!
