Great color challenge using Pacific Point, Baja Breeze & Garden Green (the one green I RARELY use). I cut the top note die panel and stamped the lower part twice - first in Garden Green, then in PP. The hydrangea was stamped on watercolor paper & colored with reinkers using an Aquapainter. The brads were layered on small circles punched out. Border embossing folders used to emboss on top & bottom of PP base CS. It's snowy and icy today, so decided to go with a floral card and at least think spring even though it's anything but spring-like outside. Have a great day and TFL!

LOVE this background stamp. I have not seen that one. Must be either old or brand new. Your coloring is fabulous. I really like this image. Hydrangeas here in NC are so pretty in the spring..Blues and pinks and whites. Lovely card. Lots of great detail...Stay warm and dry and watch that ice...

This hydrangea is gorgeous!! It was my new year's resolution to use more of my older stamps this year. Love this retired one and I have both these stamps in my collection. You get extra points for motivating me with this beautiful card to get them out and use them.

I got so caught up in creating my own card that I forgot to tell you that I LOVED your design and layout so much I had to try my hand at CASE-ing your beautiful creation. It's funny because when I saw the colors for the challenge originally I instantly thought of my hydrangea stamp and then when I saw how you incorporated your top note die I knew this would be my opportunity to use my own die for the first time. Thanks! This is lovely and I greatly appreciate the inspiration!
