Hydrangea Blooms by Laura Bassen
Hi friends! Happy Tuesday! Gorgeous real life shot of hydrangeas above, isn’t it? This was the inspiration for the fantastic Laura Bassen for her feature today, and oh my goodness did she represent it well! She used the Hydrangea Blooms stamps and dies along with some of her favorite Simon Says Stamp inks (including HOT MAMA!) to recreate this gorgeous scene in card form. Don’t forget to watch the video, and enjoy!

Gorgeous card Laura, I love how you coloured the hydrangea and I think the sun rays really turned out great! Loved your tutorial too.
WOW so beautiful and realistic!
This is gorgeous…a beautiful use of the hydrangea stamp and no less than what I’ve come to expect from Laura. I loved her comment about not knowing what she was doing and it reminded me of what Albert Einstein said..”If we knew what we were doing, it wouldn’t be called research, would it?” But Laura knows what she is doing and her techniques and ideas are always great. Thanks!
So beautiful, your blending always looks so perfect :)
Beautiful card and another great video from Laura!
What a gorgeous photo – you really did capture it in the card.
Really Beautiful card Laura!!!
