Wonderful turquoise hydrangeas! They look great against the woodgrain background.
Beautiful hydrangeas! Love that color!
Loll this is so pretty - I'd be happy to see my Hydrangeas BLOOM in any color at all! Even turquoise!

The watercoloring is wonderful, Loll, and those white stamen really pop.
The hydrangeas sure do look amazing in the turquoise Loll and this is one very beautiful card x.
So very lovely Loll.

These hydrangeas are a perfect choice for this color, Lolly! What a beautiful card, my friend!
Your hydrangeas are so pretty, Loll! I love how you layered your watercoloring and that you chose turquoise for your color palette! Great contrast to add the woodgrain panel for the background, too...Another lovely card, my friend! xx
My hydrangeas have now all finished so it's a delight to see your beauty...Gorgeous colouring!
Another beautiful creation, don't you just love this colour. I love this stamp too and I'm devastated it's no longer available, I also just love hydrangeas xx Aileen
These hydrangeas do look amazing in turquoise, Loll! The shading of the flowers and leaves are just beautiful! I never thought of Bermuda Bay showing these beautiful tones. Great job of fussy-cutting. The white dots are really effective in brightening the flowers. Another gorgeous turquoise flower card, my friend!

This green with turquoise looks amazing. The unusual combination of colors turns out to be surprisingly beautiful.

What a beautiful CAS card, Loll! You've achieved a gorgeous depth in your petals using only one color! And I love the woodgrain texture!
