Surprise ... Linda!!!
Welcome along and thanks for stopping by ... this is a little blog hop in honour of a lovely friend, team mate and "Grandmama-to-be" ... Linda Callahan of Stamping Seasons. Linda is a very talented and creative crafter and blog writer extraordinaire ... if you are a follower of her blog, you know what I mean ... she writes the most wittiest and thought provoking posts .... every time! She is taking a break from our team at Freshly Made Sketches while she prepares for her new grand baby!So Linda ... this is for you ... we will miss you whilst you are on leave, but will know that you are well and truly enjoying your time with family and your new soon to arrive "little one".
My card features the hydrangea in the colour palette of blues, purples and pinks .... these are the flowers that remind me of my grandmother - they were always in bloom and in every colour ... they surrounded the hill that lead to her home and they always graced the kitchen table on arrival ... they hold a very special place in my heart as that is where she now lives!

This is the most beautiful card I have seen made with that hydrangea - you are an artist for sure! I am overwhelmed by what you gals have done today - it was such a surprise - I am so lucky to have such wonderful stamping friends!
It is the attention to the small details that make this a v v speccy card Tui. The colouring/shading, the pearls, the stitching, even the dry embossing that kinda resembles the wee pearls. Just lovely. ooxx
