Thoughtful Branches & A Special Birthday Card

Thoughtful Branches, the limited-time-only offering from Stampin' Up!, is now available!  I was able to pre-purchase the bundle, and I love creating with it.  Here is the latest card I made:

I am a big fan of hydrangeas, and I love how you can use this set to make trees AND flowers.  Here is what you get with the bundle:

Thoughtful Branches Bundle
#144328  $52.00

I used our watercolor paper and an Aqua Painter to create a watercolor wash with Wisteria Wonder ink.  I also distressed the edges of the watercolor paper with the edge of my paper snips to give it a vintage feel.  I stamped the flower two times with Wisteria Wonder ink onto Blushing Bride card stock.  The flowers were cut out in a snap with the thinlit.  I added some sparkle with my Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush.  Here is a close-up of the flower:

I staggered the two blossoms and attached them together with Stampin' Dimensionals to give depth and texture to this card.  I also added our teeny tiny pearls to the blossom for an extra special touch.  A dainty bow completes the card!

Here are the supplies I used for this card:
