I stamped my Sweet Summer blooms 3x and then cut them out and popped them up to make a bouquet. Instead of a stamped background, I used a Cuttlebug folder to get the look of vintage wallpaper, then matted with some darker blue. My image is popped up on some textured water colour paper and mounted on a blue card base. Instead of a sentiment and some pearls, I tied some pretty gingham ribbon into a bow and will decide on the occasion later on.
Thanks for taking a peek!

Such a pretty bouquet of flowers! I am a huge hydrangea fan and this makes me wish my hydrangeas would hurry up and bloom! Your ribbon choice is wonderful for this image and your bow is tied perfectly!

Okay Laurie, we have to stop meeting like this! *laughing* We have selected the same card to CASE from Colleen's gallery *laughing*. I told Polly we all have good taste (she has the ME house stamp).
What a beautiful card. I especially like the use of the embossing folder behind your flowers (a very nice touch). It gives great dimension and is a nice compliment to Colleen's dp.

Oooo, I am so excited to see how you interpreted my hydrangea card! I like the embossed square in lieu of a stamp, and love how you clustered these SU blossoms together.
Thank you SO much for honoring me with a card this week...it's been lots of fun!
