Hydrangea heart pomander

Flowers

Hi everyone, it's Ira again. Hope you are having fun during our Poppystamps Blog Blitz!

Ever since I was a little girl, I immediately took to flowers, I love them! And when I first laid eyes on the beautiful hydrangea Poppystamps die I was immediately smitten. So, what do you need to make this little heart pomander, a lot of flowers and a little patience 😉

Here's how I built up my heart (I simply cut out several shaped hearts and layered them):

                 

And this is the pomander completely finished, I coloured the leaves with distress markers:

  16. I’m not sure what a pomander is? Is it removable from the card, because it seems to have a hanger. Did you color the flowers or cut them from some sort of patterned paper? Lots of questions, but I love the look – and it must take quite a bit of time to achieve that.

  19. Oh my goodness, how beautiful is that!! How long did that take to make? However it is simply drop dead gorgeous. Thank you for sharing that.

  24. Love hydrangeas, have one flowerbed dedicated to them and more plants scattered around in other beds. I NEED that die. 🙂 Your pomander looks just like a mophead. Love it.

  26. Absolutely georgous! Both the pomander and the card. Love the soft colors you chose and the texture of the flowers.

  103. Your pink card needs to be framed. It is so lovely. We grow hydrangeas and love the look of them in a vase both freshly cut and dried. Cards are a real inspiration. Love that die.
