Blue Bluebonnet


If you live in Texas you just HAVE to know what a bluebonnet is! It's the State Flower of Texas, blooms in the spring, and is simply gorgeous! This image is from Kitchen Sink Stamps and the flower is a four-step stamp and the butterfly is three step. I'm finally getting a little bit better lining these images up I think. I'd finally finished the card and hubby said that I really needed to have the butterfly sitting on the flower! Well, try as I might, that just was not going to happen - but it does look like it's coming in for a landing anyway!!

I used all SU card stock and ink on this, along with some pearls, a SU punch, and ribbon. Although it appears to be black in the photo, the dark card stock is Night of Navy.

Thanks for stopping by........

The scallops on the right hand side are awesome too!
