My WT434 Flower Trivia Challenge card to use or be inspired by your State Flower. Oregon's state flower is the Oregon Grape, which is a shrub with holly like leaves and pretty yellow flower and then later in the season blue berries.
I was inspired by the colors and did make my own little flower from the new Kind & Cozy stamp set by stamping the flower twice and fussy cutting the blooms and leaves. I made a tiny clay white center for my flower.
The spritzing is a stamp from the new "Gorgeous Grunge" set inked with sponge daubers and stamped 3 times. Can you see the zigzag lines behind the punched out circle image?

This card is so fresh and crisp. The way you have used the splatters from Gorgeous Grunge on a couple of cards almost has me convinced that I must buy this set. It reminds me of itty bitty backgrounds (ret.), only larger. Love the gingham circle, and I agree with Cook22 about the clever way your Oregon Grape flower matches the sentiment. Well done!
