Since I'm in a condo, I don't have a flower garden per se, but there are a lot of hostas planted in the area with lilac flowers. I love hostas and their foliage and they come up every year! I also put up a lot of hanging plants. I colored my image with pencils and a lilac copic marker. TFL.

And - the best thing about paper hostas is no slugs! Here, at any rate, they often eat them to lace which is a pity because as your card shows, they have such pretty foliage.

Oh, I don't think we have those around here!! Lovely flowers and such pretty greenery! We live on acreage and I still don't REALLY have a garden...too many critters above and below ground so all my flowers are in pots and hanging pots. We do have big wine barrow "pots" lining the front yard grass where I plant lots of flowers and wildflower grow up and around them as well (like poppies). Our fields are full of purple lupine this time of year so I guess the deer and gophers don't like them! Heehee!
Beautiful card, sorry about getting sidetracked! Thanks for playing!

This is such a wonderful image and I really like the checks for the banner. I love hostas, too, and have several different kinds.

I have never heard of hostas...I thought it was one of those self correct words that my tablet loves to insert into my write ups. How beautiful tge leaves are. The lavender check dp makes such a pretty bg.

I figured you had to have a digi image of hostas....never seen a stamp. You created a lovely card with the image and I like the touch of gingham. We have lots of hostas(the deer's favorite dessert) since our yard is shady.

I love hostas...there are so many different varieties and they grow so well in the shade. What a lovely card..I'm loving the purple on this that ties in with the flowers.

Oh! I totally forgot about our hostas (Grandma called them "funkia")! What a nice image this is, and I love their many varieties. Nice card showing one of their ilk!!! Fav'd.
