Today's challenge-to make a card with blue floweres. I decided to pull out some of my older Unity stamps for this one. I love hydrangeas, and I love this particular stamp set. So much fun to stamp the ledger behind the different flower images.
I did a ton of distressing and inked all the edges with my distress inks.
edit: A couple folks have asked if I meant to say lilac, and no-I made these to look like oakleaf hydrangea. They are not typically large and round, and more conical shaped. I used to have a neighbor who grew these along the side of his house and they were absolutely stunning. Whenever I pull this stamp out, I can not help but think of his blue oakleaf hydrangea. I will have to try and stamp them in purple some time to create lilacs, as I love lilac bushes too!

Love the distressing and pretty layered stamping and the layered punched strip with twine adds a nice touch too! Congrats on making it to the fb page Emily!
