Oh this really hit me where it hurts. I had my right ankle reconstructed last year and I couldn't put it down for 3 months. I sympathize with Sharon's ordeal. I hope she likes this card.
I used a Northwoods stamp and stamped the hydrangea portion a few times and cut it out so as to make it more prominent, since Mudder said to bring hydrangeas.

This is drop dead gorgeous! I love the gorgeous soft mauves and lavenders and the echinacea flowers interspersed. Then that perfect coloured butterfly, just the right shade to offset the purples. You certainly outdid yourself.

Nice card! So pretty and soft. Nice hydrangeas and pretty Monarch butterfly. Love the bg paper, the look of multiple layers adds a lot to your pretty card.

Not being a big fan of hydrangeas myself, while yours are lovely I'm glad to see some cone-flowers tucked in too. And I bet they're the attraction for the butterfly.
