VSNAUG10MINI2~July 30, 2010, ~7 p.m. ~State Flowers
Title: State Flowers
Hostess: Gingerbeary8 CarolH
Keyword: VSNAUG10MINI2
Day/Date: Friday, July 30, 2010
Time: 7pm EST
Summertime in the land that I love
It is summertime and the flowers are blooming. Beautiful flowers of every color and variety. Their fragrance can be smelled in the air and their beauty brings such sweet moments to our lives. There is nothing like flowers growing around your home whether you planted them or they are just wild flowers. You can brighten up any corner of your home by clipping a few and putting them in a vase and displaying them in a prominent place for all to see.
My challenge for this theme is to make a card inspired by flowers. Here is a helpful link to names and pictures of all the state flowers in the map above. Those of you who live in other countries can show us your flowers as well. Don't worry if you don't have a flower stamp, use your punches and die cuts and make some flowers. So whether it is your state flower, your country or district flower, or just a flower that you love from anywhere, let's see those Summertime Flowers from the Land that I love!
VIEW THE GALLERY FOR THIS CHALLENGE HERE
UPLOADING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 10:00 PM EST ON Monday August 2, 2010.
2. You have 45 minutes to complete the challenge.
3. Please remember to put in the correct keyword, VSNAUG10MINI2 , when uploading your image. Copying and pasting the challenge keyword is recommended to avoid typos.

I love the map of the US you provided to give us lots of inspiration. Great challenge. I will definitely be jumping in once I finish work for the day. Can't wait to see what everyone does with this one.

I used Georgia On My Mind in my sentiment. I thought it would be a great card to send to some of my relatives that lived in other states.

You can just about convert any stamp or punch into any style flower. That is what is so fun. Then you can ink and embellish it to your hearts content and it looks pretty!!!

Ok, so I caught up by doing a 3x3 card. I'm from Delaware and our flower is the Peach Blossom (which is pink, go figure). Our state colors are blue and gold - pretty close to Marina Mist and Daffodil Delight, so I used those for the base.

Now to go clean up a little. |

Not sure where my brain is tonight. All I can seem to come up with are Cricut projects. This was what was in my head when I envisioned this one, though, and I really like the way the card turned out.

Thanks for the challenge, Carol!! |

I did not have an orange blossom stamp, so I used the sweet pea the flower of my birth month, April. Here is my card:

What fun!
I enjoyed this challenge.. While I'm not a big fan of sunflowers (Kansas state flower) I decided to make some cute and happy with other flowers. What a great way to celebrate summer.

I didn't have any Lady Slipper stamps, and didn't have enough time to try to punch art one... so I did Lily of the Valley. Thanks for the challenge!

Like so many others I didn't have a stamp of my state flower, the apple blossom. (Maybe I should have used an apple stamp instead...hmmm). Anyway, I came up with a flower the same color as an apple blossom. You can see it here. |

Very cool map you showed us! I wish I had a orange blossom stamp.
How ever the next best thing is new rubber - right?!
