I've already confessed to my lack of pumpkins, so my little eye spied that vase ... et voila! a little embossing folder comes to my rescue for that fabulous texture!

ReplyDeleteYe gads, those hydrangea!!! Oh yes, your card... lovely interpretation, all your own. And love how you picked the teeniest green and brown for inspiration. Did I mention, I covet those hydrangea?
ReplyDeleteI love the way you were inspired Michele, this is fabulous!! Speaking of fabulous, look at that vase of hydrangeas!! I used to dry them, but I don't have a plant at this house. Might have to prowl the neighborhood one night LOL!!
ReplyDeletePure Brilliance, yet again!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome take on the inspiration! Love the embossing and peek of patterned paper! And wow your hydrangeas are stunning!
ReplyDeleteGosh, you just showed how talented and creative you are! Never would I have even thought about that vase. What a fantastic card. I adore the texture and the flowers lined in gold. Wow! So pretty. And your hydrangeas are gorgeous. WOW!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, Michele! I love your wonderful take on the inspiration photo and how you used those hydrangea petal stamps!
ReplyDeleteI am LOVING what I am seeing!! This is SUCH a gorgeous Christmas card - honestly! I really adore that colour scheme, and those subtle blooms are so gorgeous. Leigh and you have created such magnificent inspiration! Xx
ReplyDeleteForgot to say, I love the sneeky peek of the new house, those hydrangeas and those adorable teapots...

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! My friend always gives me a bouquet of her hydrangeas that last forever in a vase with water!
ReplyDeleteYour embossed background is such a fabulous way to showcase these pretty blooms, Michele! Love your gold embossing, too...so elegant!

The photo of your hydrangeas is absolutely gorgeous! Yes, I have them in my house all year too ! Love that yours are white.

Way to look beyond the pumpkins, Michele. I love dried hydrangeas and have the pitcher full that my Mom kept. That peek of green and black along the side is not to be overlooked either.

ReplyDeleteWho needs pumpkins when you have hydrangeas? Love your take on the photo, and I'm smitten with your teapot(?) collection!
