Ching-Chou Kuik Inspiration Post - Hydrangea in Bow

Good Morning and welcome to my inspiration post for the Ching-Chou Kuik Inspiration and Challenge blog. This week I have chosen to use the gorgeous Hydrangea in Bow - I just love her flowing hair and all those pretty flowers. I used traditional hydrangea colours of lilac/lavender with some browns for a soft look.

I also decided to make a gatefold card - something I haven't done in a long time!

And here is the inside. I would normally add a piece of white card to write the message on, but I kind of like it just with the Crumb Cake! 

This card is also for
