My card was pretty literal. I embossed the main card using a folder in the Tim Holtz line. The black gingham was created with a stamp from WMS called Off Beat Background (and it was my first time using it; I found it really easy to use and can't wait to play with it again). I thought I had the dimond pattern in a stamp but couldn't find one so I improvised and used one from Damask Designs (the sentiment if from this set too). The flower is from one of the new sets called Happy Hydrangea. I was trying to go for the look of the green hydrangea floating in the watter in the green bowl but not sure I pulled it off. To me it just looks like it was placed there...maybe some leaves would have helped it...oh well, you live and learn. Over all I am pleased with the card.
I love hydrangeas and am hoping to plant some next spring. I have heared they are fairly easy to grow/maintain which is what this newbie needs. I've been wanting to plant sometime but it seems so overwheleming. I am thinking about doing just a "small" container for this and maybe two or three more plants (just not sure what kind). A fruit would be nice maybe...
