I finally took the plunge and tried Kittie's hydrangea tutorial. I'm so pleased with how it came out! The sentiment is from Verve's Beautiful You set--I thought it would compliment the flower. The card base is almost amethyst (retired), the DP is Frond, by Memory Box and I stamped the sentiment in wisteria wonder, directly on the paper. The hydrangea is amethyst and soft sky and I punched some greenery with M. Stewart punches, then daubered them with celery and soft sky. This is for two of the Dare To Get Dirty challenges.
