Today's card was made simple!  I used to have them in my yard when I lived up north. They were beautiful as long as it didn't get cold. Then they turned into brown spears! I got hurt on a bush when I slipped on my frozen sidewalk a few years ago. I had to go to the hospital. The ER nurse asked what happened and I told her I was attacked by my hydrangea. She whispered to another nurse that I needed a psych evail! 

I love these flowers, even though they can be weapons!heehee


 
 

Come on back tomorrow for more creativity.

I think as paper crafters we need a psych eval just because that is how we roll. I am so sorry that you were attacked by your hydrangea. This one on your card looks really pretty.

Gorgeous card. The simple design and the black matting really pops that bright and beauty hydrangea. Pity they are so dangerous though.

Attack of the Killer Hydrangeas....coming to a winter near you! Eeeek. Had no idea! I can't even keep them alive here in Idaho. Perhaps it's a good thing!!!
