This weeks challenge for Crafty Secrets was that some part of our design had to go "over the edge" This was a fun challenge, a little "out of the box" for me as I had not done one before - but once the idea stewed for awhile, it actually came together pretty easy. Hope you like it - Dru

That hydrangea looks fabulous cut out and mounted like that, letting it escape over the edge gives a lovely naturalistic feel! Beautiful ribbon and I love the rich colours here - great card!

When I first looked at your card I felt like I had really gone back in time.........what an amazing vintage feel. Is it the rich colors, amazing ribbon treatment, or the nostalgia of the flower? Over the edge and beyond.....just gorgeous Dru!
