Today's card is one I made for a friend who moved away, we exchange cards a couple of times a year in between birthdays and Christmas. I know she is going through a tough time at the moment so I wanted to surprise her with an extra card.

I choose this image because it reminds me of where we both used to live when we were children. There was a road we walked down on the way to the seafront in the summer and nearly every garden had the most glorious hydrangeas in a variety of pretty colours. I Googled free images and found this one here.

I layered up parts of the flower, I not sure how well you can see that on the picture though.

Items used:

Digi stamp - freebie (see link above) coloured with Promakers

Double corner rounder punch

Woodware small and medium butterfly punches

Paper - Kay and Co

Sentiment - Personal impressions
