Hydrangea Bittybloom....Isn't she just the sweetest thing?

I LOVE this little Hydrangea Bittybloom!! In the past I have had a hard time purchasing any other stamps than Close to my Heart. I always felt that if I was going to purchase stamps, I might as well purchase ones that I can use for my business. WELL that idea has been completely thrown out the window! There are just too many cute stamps out there for me not to buy. After oohing and aahing over the darling stamps at Stampingbella.com for quite some time, I finally broke down and bought 8 stamps. Hydrangea Bittybloom was one of them and after playing with her I will be placing another order for more of the Bittyblooms!!

For my card I used paper from the new Spring Idea Book called That's Amore. If you would like to see all of the papers and colors in this pack just click on the Spring Idea book on my sideline. I have to admit this was my least favorite paper pack in the Spring Idea book. But as always, once I get the papers in my hands and play around with them I always end up loving them.

I inked the image in black Staz On and then again in VersaMark and stamped onto Vanilla Cream CS and embossed the image with clear embossing powder. This way it was so much easier to color in each individual flower without the marker bleeding into the next flower. I stamped and embossed the image 2 times, cut out the skirt and leaves from one image and popdotted them on the first image for dimension.
