You will have no trouble finding the photo I've chosen this month ... thank you, Laurel Beard, for giving me just one more color combo for Julie's Mondo Hydrangea!  Wish you were here to see the extra detail I managed with a jelly-roll pen!
 
Distress inks:  Antique linen, Milled lavender, Tattered Rose, and Victorian Velvet.
Sentiment heat embossed with Ranger Liquid PlatinumMFT Scalloped edge die.
 
 
 
This one reminds me of those dried Hydrangea I love so much... yes, those hanging in the background!   Hope you love it, too!
 
Thanks for hanging with me on a Saturday!

  4. Gorgeous card, Michele. The color palette you had to chose from is so pretty, too and you nailed it with your hydrangeas. Soft and elegant and I think, upon enlarging the photo, I spotted where you added the pen (dots). Perfect finishing touch. I'm so glad you crafted on a Saturday! :) Hugs!
