This may be my last card for a week or so. My four and six year old grandchildren will be coming for a visit this week (without parents) so I'll be a busy bee keeping them entertained. Their mom told me they had the best time on their last visit and talked about it from the time they got home until she made them go to sleep that night. I'm so happy to hear that and hope it will be the same this time. She also thanked us for being wonderful grandparents. How super is that!
I've made this card for the Hope You Can Cling To challenges going on this month at Splitcoaststampers. This challenge, HYCCT1405, is Two by Two, Side by Side. Use some element/s in twos. Mine are the two hydrangea images. They aren't side by side but I think they will be o.k.
The card is supposed to use pink and purple. I did the alcohol marker marbling technique to show inside the window. But, as it turned out, the purple hardly shows. I think you can see just a touch of it. I added some purple gemstones so I could sneak into the challenge. :-)
Recipe:
Stamps-Inspired by Stamping/Graceful Hydrangea, Inkadinkado/Calligraphy Expressions
Paper-PTI white cardstock
Ink-Memento Tuxedo Black and Rich Cocoa
Accessories-purple gemstones, Copics for marbling-RV14 and V15, Copics for hydrangeas-RV63 and G20, Spellbinders classic circle die

beautiful card for the HYCCT challenge Benzi-hope you have a wonderful time with your grandchildren-you are making awesome memories they wont forget
Beautiful card, Benzi, and you know I'm loving those hydrangeas in the corners. :)
Sounds like you are a wonderful grandmother, based on the feedback you are receiving. ;) I hope your current babysitting gig is going well!
Wow Brenda, this is soooo pretty! You did a wonderful job with the colors and depth on this. Great idea to add the flowers on the edges! I have a picture in my bathroom done kind of like this and have always wondered how to incorporate it in a card - you did it perfectly without ever seeing it. Roll Tide! Hugz!
Can well believe that your grands have a fab time when they visit ya'll. Good for you that they enjoy coming so much, and how sweet of them to let you know it too. Actually I think the purple in the circle window showed very nicely. At least on my monitor.It's subtle mixed with the pink, but I could see that it was mixed in. Loved the flowers with this design...so very, very pretty. Your little rhinestones just iced the cake. This is so lovely. TFS & Hugs
