Well, the Texas bluebonnets have started blooming and will be covering the fields there in about a week! This card is going to her today as an invitation for a private tour of the museum and site. It helps to have connections!
To create this card which I have titled Backporch Texas, I have used images from the following Kitchen Sink Stamps sets:
The orange table cloth is a nod to the Indian Paint Brushes that line the Texas highways during this colorful time of the year as well!!
Color Recipe for the Bluebonnets
Layer 4 Stampin' Up Blueberry Burst
Layer 3 Stampin' Up Balmy Blue
Layer 2 Memento Summer Sky
Layer 1 Stampin' Up Barely Banana (tips of flowers only)
Leaves and Stems - Stampin' Up Old Olive
Color Recipe for the Dragonfly
Layer 1 Stampin' Up Gray Granite
Layer 2 Versafine Onyx Black
The mason jar die is from Stampin' Up, and I added crocheted lace trim for the tablecloth and a twine wrap and bow to the jar.
