This was a really FUN card, and I am really happy with it! Such pleasant colors....and fun new things to play with!! We have been gardening outside our new home - planting my favorite HYDRANGEAS, among other species, and I had NO TIME to stamp so I cooked this card up in my head while gardening so it would come out with the first try.....and it worked! Happy Tuesday everyone!

Why doesn't that strategy ever work for me, Karen????? Amazing card - bold, bright, and lovely! I especially love the way you used the navy as a focal point for your sentiment and flowers.

How wonderful to be planning and planting your garden in your new home. Hydrangeas are some of my favorites too. Your card looks like a beautiful garden. I love the pretty designer paper and those swirls look like big hydrangeas themselves. It looks like you scored inside and out this week. :>)

OH aren't Hydrangeas pretty. They will so be nice for your garden. Have not tried them yet as don't think we have the right space and lighting for them, but might next year give them a try anyways. Great designing while you were gardening, this is sooo pretty. Always do LOVE your rich colors in your gallery always so pretty....TFS..:0)...and happy gardening...:0)
