Texas Bluebonnets

This week Texas families are hitting the highways as they set out to celebrate spring break. As they do, many will be keeping their eyes peeled for a sight of the first bluebonnets of the season. Bluebonnets are the state flower of Texas, and they beautify the highways of the Texas hill country for about eight weeks every spring.

In their honor today, I am featuring the Texas bluebonnet which Maria, owner and creator of Kitchen Sink Stamps, designed specifically for a Texas workshop she did in Pearland a couple of years ago to introduce Texans to her multi layered stamps. She also created her Cowboy Hat, Cowboy Boots, and Texas Longhorn for that wonderful event.

Here are the 10 minute designs I created with Bluebonnets Multi Step Clear Stamps.

Do a Texas Bluebonnet search on Pinterest or Google Images and see what we get to experience here in Texas each spring!
