Hi there my crafty friends! I thought that one Hydrangea looked so pretty that three much be truly splendid! LOL I have always been in love with hydrangeas so the more the merrier in my book! I started by embossing white card with the
Graded Diamonds embossing folder. I cut a larger piece of
Blue Dusk card and used the decorative strip die from the
Treat Yourself Cupcake set to add a stitched feature to the edge. I added the embossed piece to the other side. From the
Beautiful Hydrangea set, I cut three hydrangeas out of green card and three hydrangeas out of pink card. I cut the bloom portion off of the pink ones and glued it to the green ones. I used a little bit of
Salty Ocean to add some blue to parts of them and then popped up the little bloom areas in all of them. I added them to the card with foam, overlapping all three. I cut the sentiment out of blue card and added it onto a small
stitched rectangle die cut at the side of the flowers. White mats were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Good Morning Sue. And a beautiful morning it is here in Turkey today. The sample for today is lovely and you have captured the colours so good they look almost real. And a wonderful sentiment too.

Morning Sue.
Thank you a beautiful card, so pretty.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Hello Sue, definitely a beautiful trio of Hydrangeas, love the mix of colours too. Have a good day everyone. Bx
Hi Sue
Beautiful!
I saw a few of your cards using this die ‘in the flesh’ at Ally Pally on Sunday and these pictures (gorgeous as they are), do not portray how intricate and stunning these hydrangeas are. We have loads of hydrangeas in our garden and when they are all in full bloom they really are magnificent - as is this card.
Only 1 more sleep and HOCHANDA willl be alive with the buzz of the Creative Expressions team. Can’t wait.
Happy Thursday everyone

Hi Sue, Beautiful card. love Jean Z xxxx
Morning Sue. Beautiful. I get sooo many emails from the gardening websites I love to look at and there are so many more colours and shapes of hydrangea along with size and shape of the petals, their popularity seemed to die down for years but that's all changed and they must be on the list of most popular these days, and your samples made with this die are equally beautiful, there is no right or wrong as far as colour choice is concerned and yet again it's one of 70 on my need list that I long to own !
Thank you for today's gorgeous start to our day and hope you have a beautiful day xxx
GM Sue. Very lovely. So textural.
Good Morning Sue and all
Such a beautiful card this morning , the Hydrangeas are are so stunning with the effect of the petals lifted. The ink has worked so well on the Hydrangea and they sit so well on the embossed back ground.
crafty hugs to all, Wendy
Good morning Sue,
A beautiful card that has wonderful dimension thanks to the clever lifting design of the Hydrangea die. x
Wonderful card this morning! Love the colour of the hydrangeas and the embossing. Debra x
This is awesome Sue, love how you have shaded those gorgeous blooms.Hows you feeling now , back to full health I hope. Have a great day. hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Morning Sue, what a lovely card to start our day. I'm with you. Hydrangeas are a must in a garden. The embossing folder looks prety too and I bet with gilding wax rubbed over it, that would really make it pop. Hugs xx Pauline
How pretty, love the different shades
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a beautiful creation this morning, lovely colour choices and love the stitching on the blue card, set's it off a treat.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
I love this card Sue and I too love hydrangeas. I have three in pots in my garden, two given by friends, and think they are one of the most impressive flowers in the garden. Those and my roses are my favourites. Thank you, have a good day. Xxx

This card would cause its sentiment to happen.
Your color sense is uncanny.
Let’s hope The Takeover leaves us with a little money to pay the mortgage.
Best,

There is no doubt that having a bunch of three makes this a stand-out card.

Beautiful card, I love hydrangeas as they change colour so much &keep the flower right through until late autumn. These colours work so well & so does that new(?)embossing folder. Thank you Sue, how’s the voice?
Good Thursday morning Sue.
A beautiful card Sue and reminds me of my Mother taking out the tea leaves (before tea bags were invented) to feed her precious Hydrangeas. I have bought 3 plants this year but they are still in the nurturing stages so don't expect much for a couple of years and by then I'll be 90 lol.
You really have produced a fantastic card Sue just as you always do.
Have a great day.
Hugs.
Marie P.
Good morning, Sue

The colours of the blooms are so realistic.

Hi Sue, I love this card and having loved the die since launch I finally got it a couple of weeks ago. Thank you for today's inspiration. Luckily my hydrangeas seem to have survived storm Ali but sadly the begonias have taken a battering and will have to be attended to.

Hi Sue
Lovely card. Beautiful coloured hydrangeas. They are a plant that has grown on me more as I’ve got older. I really like them and love all the different colours you can get.
Marie P, I have very fond memories of my parents saving their tea bags to open and tip around their roses in the garden. X
