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.

We have missed you, too, but you certainly have not lost your touch!! This is beautiful! Love how you gave dimension to that hydrangea, and I really like that bling buckle you used with that ribbon!! Wonderful!!!

This is beautiful. I looked up the tutorial and I think I will try it out. I have the hydrangia stamp as well. But I love the way you put it all together. How did you make the buckle? I'm glad you are getting back to stamping because we would miss some wonderful inspiration if you didn't.
