Seriously - I shoulda put this in the circular file!

But, I couldn't because that hydrangea has over 100 flowers glued to it to make the one!  And I hand stitched the vellum on it - remind me to buy a machine. 

I mean it isn't the worst card I ever made(I hope), but I maybe shoulda given up after the first hour...hehehe.

The hydrangea instructions are in The Paper Garden book over at All That Scraps.  I have most of the punches now, and am having fun putting together some beautiful flowers.  OH MY GOSH - you should see the roses!  One day soon, I hope to show you something cool, but that is taking longer than this card *roll eyes*.

The CS I used was handsome hunter, bordering blue, ballet blue, certainly celery and gable green.

Oh, Julie, I know how long this must have taken! I've done a similar hydrangea, and have a pile of punched flowers sitting somewhere, just waiting..........

I think it's great. Congrats on your patience! I know what you mean though about wanting to toss some...

[Angie]

I am so glad you didn't toss this one! It looks fab, girl!

The flowers are great, and the layout is good too, but the punched tag is what throws it off for me, looks like a headstone (maybe I'm just too sensitive lately). Remove that and it's a winner! Looking forward to seeing your roses.

Ooh, I love it! You certainly have more patience than I do- but that's why you're great!
