HYDRANGEAS

 Good morning, welcome to my blog.  Today I'm featuring one of my very favourite flowers.

As a young adult, I thought they were pretty boring, but as I've grown older, I've come to appreciate the beauty in these flowers and all the individual flowers that make up a large flower.  The colour variety is amazing, and it depends on the acidity or alkalinity of your soil.

Today, over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2, we have two new sketches and a blast from the past for you to play with. You could make all three sketches up; that would be brilliant.

Sketch #304

 
Here's a quick view of the inside of my card.

Don't forget to drop by Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and check out what the rest of the team has created this month. 

We'll be back later in the month with May's winners.
