Hydrangea Blues Clipboard

Type text where indicated in the Personalised section, including child's name and birth date, or any other message you want to include, ie "Nana loves you." If you don't want text and just want a plain light blue back, then delete the placeholder text. A 2-sided version of this design is also available in this shop with hydrangeas on both sides. I watched these azure-blue hydrangeas deepen from early summer to mid-summer. Their blues were a bit shy at first, dappled with white, sky blue, or pink and then suddenly I noticed how deep their colours had become. I think of cornflower blue or deep summer skies when I see these colours, and I love the button-like stamens in the centre. They remind me of a button in an upholstered pillow. Hydrangeas also remind me of my Dad, who used to enjoy experimenting with the alkalinity of the soil from one row of hydrangeas to another, so we'd have some that were pinker and some that were bluer. These hydrangeas, though, were unabashedly blue.
