Backporch Texas - Kitchen Sink Stamps

Today's card sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps is going to a dear friend who has helped me in so very many ways. On Valentine's Day I received the sweetest card from her saying she wanted to visit the San Felipe de Austin Museum to tour the site as well as see the fields of bluebonnets that blanket it. My son has worked on this project since its conception over ten years ago and continues to be the site manager there since its opening in April of 2018.

 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.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

    How pretty your card looks with the vase of blue blooms sitting on the orange cloth and I am assuming as they bloom in Spring that is your favourite season, many thanks for joining in at Allsorts 'Favourite Seasons' challenge.
