From the 4¾” by 3½” panel of Basic White I die cut an arch using the Everyday Arches Dies. Using the same size die I also die cut a Berry Burst Arch from the same size piece of card stock. A larger Berry Burst and a smaller Basic White arch were also die cut using the same dies.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Thankful Garden stamp set and Everyday Arches dies used to make a floral column anniversary card – Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

The large hydrangea image was stamped onto the larger white arch using Pebbled Path ink. I coloured the image using Blending Brushes and the Thankful Garden Masks. I added Pretty in Pink ink to the flowers. The trick is to lightly add it with mask 1, a little more Pretty in Pink ink with mask 2 to layer up the colour. With mask 3 I used Berry Burst ink to add the detail.

The leaves were coloured with Soft Sea Foam, lightly with mask 1 and another layer with mask 2. The decorated arch was glued to the larger Berry Burst arch. I folded 4 of the strips of white card in half and glued them, in pairs to the card front with the folded edges up against the central scoreline, one on either side. The arch was then added on top of the tabs allowing it to float.
