Our cards are going to Sharon this week who has had a number of foot surgeries. We were to use dessert colours of hydrangeas. Bumble head here has gone through the last 2 days thinking she has stamped a hydrangea when in fact I stamped a hyacinth.
Idiocy aside, I stamped the image twice and cut out florets and cupped them around a pearl. The flower was coloured with copics.
I tried to show the relief with an angle photo, but it looks way better in real life.

Sharon will get lots of hydrangeas - and, so, the beautiful hyacinth will be a welcome addition to her collection!
Elizabeth, your card is beautiful. The florets/pearls you've added are so lovely and give it dimension. The beautiful green bow is such a pretty touch, as well as your sentiment.

Idiocy nothing - hyacinths beat hydrangeas hands down for me any day of the week. And with that wonderful dimension you've added - well, I can almost smell them.
