Both are lovely, but the first is my favorite and definitely my style!

CandyraeT said...

Two very different takes on using this stamp..both are lovely!

Your hydrangeas are gorgeous just like the real flower. I love the colors.

Seester2T said...

I love the no line card!

Susanbcards said...

Your no line coloring looks like real hydrangea. So beautiful!

Barbara said...

Both cards are so different, it's hard to tell that they were made with the same stamp. Love both of them, great colouring.

Eta said...

My favorite flower of all time. Love the beautiful details on each petal! You have some wonderful talent with those markers!

Nandini said...

Both cards are really beautiful. I love the gorgeous coloring.

I love how you made different colored flower heads, just like my real Hydrangea bushes. I have many different colors on each bush.

Sweet Sarah said...

Beautiful cards!

Karen M said...

Lovely florals! Your no line watercoloring is beautiful!

Catherine said...

Beautiful! The second card is especially stunning and I love the colors you chose.

Cyndi said...

Beautiful, colorful cards. I love that gorgeous hydrangea and the sentiments in this set are wonderful.

MaryH said...

I am very taken with the no line approach as it is not only more realistic (I visually favor this) and the abundance of white and soft colors of the no line card emphasize the sentiment of Spring to me. The first card was charming but evoked feelings of rain and coldness - perhaps because of the droplets and misty/fog-like background? I would be extremely happy to be the recipient of either card. I enjoy your work!

Emma Rose said...

Love your cards, the colouring is magnificent

Carolyn said...

Your colors are just beautiful! I just love hydrangeas.

Barbara said...

Beautiful cards. I especially love the no-line watercolor card. Spectacular!

Ms. Tamp said...

Wonderful coloring. I like how the first card left some of the flowers uncolored. It really brings the focus up to the front. The combination of the colors on the artist marker card works very well.

Heather M said...

These cards are just beautiful, I have never had the privilege of working with altenew stamps or dies as they are no that easy to come by here in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I have recently gone to the altenew site and seen some beautiful ones there so I will have to start ordering direct. Love seeing all the lovely cards that are made on Pinterest and this site.❤️

Andrea Shell said...
