I have three grandchildren who were born in Texas, to say nothing of several friends who live there. I have always thought of the Texas state flower, the Bluebonnet - from the lupin family, as one of the most fascinating flowers. I'm just now learning to color them and I have a long ways to go before I achieve perfection, but I used this image for a Texas birthday card. :-D
Colored with water colors, and cut with a QuicKutz die. The sentiment was also cut with a small die from QuicKutz. All the paper stripes were scraps bits from the basket. I used my 'Linen' embossing folder on the navy blue and cranberry pieces before layering them onto an an aqua card front.
The patterned ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon, and I used sheer ribbon to sew one of my signature bows with a pearl.
