Portugal owns islands called the Azores. Hydrangea flowers bloom in abundance on this island. They bloom so much that farmers have used the plant for their fences. I learned this by searching Portugal and chose this flower to highlight this country.
I started by making a mask of one flower so I could stamp several and have them in front and behind each other. I chose a few ink colors and the flowers bloomed.

Fabulous card and although we visited Portugal and stayed with my niece who lived there at the time I did not know of this fact. Thank you for sharing. Happy day

Your masking technique is so beautiful. I always seem to get a bit of space between the images, but yours is absolutely perfect. I love the colors you chose for these. Gorgeous work!
