Simply Lovely Again..!!

Hello Creative Friends 


Another Summertime show of recent Alison Bomber stamps by 
PaperArtsy.. The Hydrangea is one of my favourites and in 
real time they lap up the sun even during a heatwave.. 


Stamped and embossed on a watercolour tag scrap I coloured with 
watercolour and pencil stamping text to fill the bare background. 

With a craft knife I carefully cut around random leaves to lift 
and add dimension popping dots of glitter glue in each centre 
as that's where the Hydrangea flower magic really happens 


Co-ordinating buttons and lace embellish with a trio of machine 
stitch colour edges it all.. simply lovely again 😊

Stay safe & creative everyone 
Hugs Tracey xx

This is really lovely Tracey. I also love hydrangeas. Mine are blooming beautifully too. I like your purple-pin k ones. You did a great job matching the real flowers to the Alison Bomber ones. I just picked up this stamp set too, and I really need to get using it. Thanks for the inspiration. I hope all is well with you and the weather gets and stays back to normal. hugs-Erika

I love Hydrangers and have a few in the garden but they are thirsty guys. Love the tag you made. Thanks for the visit to mine, I'm a bit late as we've been to a birthday party today. I quite like the show at Doncaster as there is a good variety of stalls but we also have quite a good one here in Lincoln now at the show ground which has become so popular that they had to move into a larger building. I'd better stop talking as it's nearlt bedtime for me. Have a good weekend, hugs Angela xXx

Beautiful tag, as always amazing attention to detail

OH! This is just so very beautiful, so many lovely details, I have a number of hydrangeas in the garden, but sadly they are not doing well in the heat. Neither is much of the garden come to that. But your tag, reminds me of the bright and full lacecap hydrangea we have, although ours is blue. Love your work. x

Your hydrangeas are just beautiful Tracey. Mine are white this year!! I absolutely love your gorgeous tag. You are the queen of texture for sure and it always looks so perfectly put together.

Lovely tag, the paper tole technique really suits the stamp for a little bit of dimension. Great colouring and finishing touches, too!
