I WAS going to use the other new stamp set with flowers in the sneak peek this week, but then Barbara Joyce said my colors sounded like I was going to make another "RHODODENDRON" card, NO, NO, NO!!! IT'S A HYDRANGEA!!! (AM I in DENIAL??) THANKS to all you well meaning friends who shattered my illusions and said it's not a hydrangea......but I beg to DIFFER!!! I am SO sure it's a hydrangea, so sure - but what are YOU???? TEAM HYDRANGEA, OR TEAM RHODODENDRON??? TEAM HYDRANGEA UNITE!! I'M GETTING PUNCHY SO IT'S TIME TO GO TO BED!! HAPPY HYDRANGEA TUESDAY EVERYONE!!!
PS, Flower buffs, are you SURE it can't be a hydrangea??? bahahaha....it's one pretty flower, WHATEVER IT IS!!!

I agree with all the other comments--whatever this flower is, we're going to call it the Karen flower! My dear, your coloring is beyond beautiful. I love the bright, vibrant colors in this card, the white centers, the trademark Karen bow, and the clever butterfly who has stopped for a visit. Stunning!

This is just beautiful, Karen! I love your coloring of the flowers and the layers of framing you used is really wonderful! I love the rhinestone placement, too!

I really don't care which flower it is, but I sure am glad you colored it in my favorite color.

Karen I am on the hydrangea team... I did google both flowers though and it said the difference between a hydrangea and a rhododendron is the same as the difference between a baptism and a christening...in any case, your card is gorgeous... love the black with todays colours... also love the butterfly and the use of white gel pen on the flowers... well done..

A geranium, a hydrangea - whatever it is, you have coloured it fabulously. Love the added flowers at the top of your card - these colours are so very rich and wonderful, tfs

Definitely Beautiful, but I vote Rhodri or deciduous azalea that is in the same family. But whatever you call your flower Karen your card design and coloring are Stunning! TFS and hosting mf.
