I took my parents out for a Sunday drive yesterday afternoon to see if we could spot any Texas bluebonnets or Indian paintbrushes growing along the highway. We weren't too sure what our recent week of hard freeze would do to this year's crop of wildflowers. Along the highway, we found a tiny bunch of about 6 Indian paintbrushes and not a single bluebonnet. Then we turned off the main highway onto our favorite country road, and we were rewarded with acres and acres of bluebonnets! What a delight! I am sure we will visit them again in another week or two when they are in full bloom!
Those beautiful blossoms inspired today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design! I call this card "Songs of Spring." Those gorgeous blue flowers certainly made my heart sing!

I do not get blue bonnets here but I do have bluebells and they are just popping out in the woods right now. Love when they are in bloom. My Indian paint brushes are up around the cabin but bloom much later. Love your card.
ReplyDeleteI remember you writing about Bluebonnets last Spring Lynn, they always look and sound beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou have made a pretty Spring card and as a horsey girl love the inclusion of that element, thanks so much for joining in with my 'Spring Flowers' theme at Allsorts challenge this week.

Lynn, your card is so pretty! And what fun that you and your parents went on a bluebonnet-searching drive!
ReplyDeletePretty images...made a lovely card. I am so ready for spring! So tired of being stuck in the house... with all the snow we had this past year, and because of the pandemic!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card and design Lynn, I love all of the beautiful stamps you used!
ReplyDeleteFabulous card- love the bluebonnets, the guitar and the horse. What a cool card! The story about taking your parents for a drive to see bluebonnets is so sweet and special!
ReplyDeleteI was just talking with Darrell yesterday about the bluebonnets in TX and the cards you have made with them. Darrell had taken me for a drive to show me a large area of just daffodils in a field and they reminded me of you and your bluebonnets. I'm sure it was a beautiful drive. Hugs
