I have a thing for flowers, and buy as many flower stamps as I want, and then still end up getting more whenever and wherever I see them. Shameless the way I buy those!
Here are a few things that I made on Friday night . . . using flowers, of course! I had to stamp some stuff to put in the mail for Geeta (yes, I am horribly late, but who knew?). . .
Agapanthus. . . Last year, we planted big clumps of those gorgeous blueish-purplish flowers in our back yard. The plants are just starting to send up spikes, and I can’t wait to see the showy blooms. Clipping a couple-three of those to put in a vase makes me super happy!
Stamps: Stampendous Agapanthus Cluster and Agapanthus Bloom, Papertrey Paper Tray Cardstock: Elegant Eggplant, Always Amethyst; Shimmery White. Ink: Elegant Eggplant; Accessories: Aquapainter, Stickles, dimensionals, really wide duo-toned organdy from my stash.
I stamped the cluster, and then went back in with the aquapainter to fill in the outlined blooms. Once everything was dry, I roughed up the edges, did a little direct to paper, and adhered to the Amethyst layer. I punched a hole, tied ribbon, and then mounted on a card I’d already stamped with the single blooms. The whole card took just a few minutes to put together, but it’s one of my favorites!
This one was easy, too. I’m really into easy lately.
I stamped the Stampendous Open Bloom flowers and centers with Palette Noir ink, and then painted with different layers of Twinkling H20s. After I stamped a quick sentiment from Paper Tray and tied on some May Arts ribbon i was done!
And check these out, too!
First bluebonnet of the year. I was waiting for this . . . last year, we saw maybe ONE bluebonnet, and that really stunk for us. LOVE taking pics of the kids in the bluebonnets like all other Texas mommas! I snapped this one yesterday, and on the drive home today, saw tons more. I’ll have to drag the kids over to a field to get some new bluebonnet pics this weekend!
and some more wildflowers
Y’all have a happy week! I have more stuff to share later. Thanks for looking!

What gorgeous flowers! Both the stamped and the fresh! 😉 Thanks for sharing them. The trees are starting to bud here, but no flowers quite yet, so these were wonderful to see.
Can you send some of those out here please???? TFS.

These are terrific…I love that stamp that you used on your first card! We still have days of snow on and off here…sigh!
Love the Agapanthus card. So pretty. I’m so glad I have that stamp too. TFS

I would never get sick of Jbalcer flowers!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love your cards, and I’m in Texas too so I love the photos of the flowers. We don’t see a whole lot around here. I’ve been wondering what Bluebonnet actually looks like! It looks very pretty and I love blue! The white flower you took a picture of is called Prickly Poppy. Watch the stem and leaves, it really is prickly but so pretty!! You’ll have to share a picture of the field of bluebonnets when you get them! Take care. 🙂
Jenn I love flowers also, I just suck at making flower cards! I’m totally enjoying seeing all your beautiful creations… keep them coming 🙂
These cards are amazing, and I couldn’t get tired of flowers either…especially when they are colored so nicely. Just gorgeous!
Hmmmmm. Nope. I never get sick of flowers, and never get sick of seeing what you create, either, ding-dong! And, geeze, Jenn! You’re quite the photographer, too! Everything is just gorgeous–both the stamped creations and the photos you took! SO STRIKING!!!
No-one could ever get tired of flowers that are stamped this beautifully. I can feel some enabling coming on, lol, I love the agapanthus. Your cards rock Jenn!
**LOVE** those flowers, colors, just gorgeous Jenn!
I’ll never get sick of flower creations from your hands! Both cards are just breathtaking (but the Agapanthus one is my favorite). Love all the beautiful photos too. I can’t wait for my CO garden to start blooming.
TFS!
