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.

Elizabeth, your card is breath-takingly beautiful. Love EVERYTHING about it from your 3-D image, beautifully colored and embellished to the crisp gingham bow.

This is gorgeous! Your fussy cutting and little pearls make this flower come alive!! The gingham ribbon is really the perfect compliment. And who cares...hydrangea; hyacinth; both start with H and are pretty purple flowers :o) TFS
