I absolutely loved Jenny's card. It so pretty, could be a wedding card. It reminded me of a limited edition SU bundle that I just purchased from eBay and used for the first time earlier this week. I wanted to try it again soon. I would have been happy to copy Jenny's card exactly, but I made these changes for a proper case:
Turned upward to a vertical position, moved the wood paper to the left side. Jenny's paper looked rough & natural and mine looked smoother, so I distressed the right edge and sponged it for some texture. I used different stamps and dies. Loved her tag & twine, but I stamped a different sentiment directly on the card base and added a ribbon bow.
One notable item - I accidentally die-cut the bottom layer of the hydrangea on the wrong side and couldn't flip it over. So I glued it down anyway. The top layer didn't match up exactly, but it seemed to add some dimension being different. Mistakes are opportunities to try something new & learn things. I pulled up the edges of the leaves and some edges of the bloom. I like the results; thank you Jenny for the inspiration.
Thank you for looking!

Diane, wrong side glued down or not....this is gorgeous. The darker pink paper on the bottom layer of your hydrangea adds depth and dimension. This is a gorgeous card. You are right. There have been so many different takes on Jenny's card.
