This card is also a case of this beautiful, wallpapery looking card by PickleTree that I've had in My Favorites for a long time: Refuge & Strength
The technique I used to lift the flower petals off the page is an idea I got from this gorgeous card by Dini: Dimensional Orchids. She shares a tutorial link in her description. It looks hard but is really super easy.
So, thanks for all the inspiration everyone! I haven't been on SCS in such a long time. My oldest son got married and I've been soooo busy. It was nice to sit down and make a card. I've missed it and all of you, too.

I missed you on here! Wow, this is gorgeous - the hydrangea is so dimensional, I love how Dina does that, and you've done it beautifully too! The buckle and ribbon is an elegant combo!

I haven't been to the card challenge gallery in quite some time, since I started scrapbooking, but I'm enthralled by your gorgeous gallery! I'll be back to see more. You're an inspiration!
