I live in Pennsylvania and my neighbor to the south is Maryland, which is famous for its seafood, especially the Maryland crab. I stamped and embossed the crab on whisper white paper and then I stamped and embossed the crab again on a scrap of red marble paper because I wanted the crab to look real in color, not just a solid red. The Maryland state flower is the Black eyed Susan which are the flowers that are featured on the card. This was a fun card to make, but a bit tedious, I'm glad I'm done! 😂

What a fun card for MD! We've had their delicious crab legs many a time when we were traveling through!

Great way to represent Maryland! This is one of the states that I still have to visit. I have been in the state for about 10 minutes and then went back across the bridge to PA
