This is one of favorite hostess sets. Originally, I tried to have the scallop punch look more like a white picket fence but I couldn't make it work. After working and reworking the card I decided I really liked the hydrangea image in multiples so this is the final piece.
Thanks for looking!

This is an attractive card. The flower heads look very deep and puffy!
I have that same punch. When I make a fence with it I leave a wider border on the flat side, use that as the base and sponge it with a bit of colour to make it look like it needs a fresh coat of paint. I sometimes raise it on dimensionals with grass or vines behind it. You probably tried all these things already!

I love hydrangeas, I love that border punch, I love the pearls and punched leaves and butterflies - so, I guess you know what that means - I LOVE your card. So beautiful!

I love the way this turned out with the three flowers. I have this set and I'm going to try it too. The ribbon and pearls plus added a special touch. TFS!

Love the trellis border edge on this. The texture on the leaves is a great touch too! Very nice.
