flowers bring so much color and interest to life…they are among my favorite things
there is even a “language of flowers” which has been used to communicate feelings since Victorian times
this week’s challenge theme for Wednesday Stamper/Mittwochstempler is “flowers”
my postcard began with a beautiful painted background from Linda in Norway
a B Line Design arch stamp and a Rubber Stampede daisy stamp … flowers from Dover clip art and a seed catalog
clickable for closeups
the bluebird of happiness was not a frequent visitor at Frida’s Casa Azul
Here’s Hoping you all had a Happy Cinco de Mayo!
Patty; this is so beautiful. I keep going back to take another look. It’s so peaceful to me. Love the arch stamp and daisy! Gorgeous piece! Have a happy day! xxoo
Gorgeous Patty! Love your sample..
I agree with Marilyn, it’s so peacefull..
A beautifull card!
Wonderful creation, love the colours and the overall effect.
The other day I saw a bit of a movie based on Frida Kahlo’s life. So so sad. The movie was cool, to mark the “chapters” in her life they used actual paintings by the artist, digitally animated.
Beautiful collage, I love the bluebird on her head (:
What a clever use of that daisy stamp, Patty! I love ‘colorful’ Frida with that pretty green backdrop. Very cinco de Mayo! Hugs, Terri xoxo
You are amazing with stamps! I wouldn’t have thought of using the petal of the flower for the edges like that.
Wow Patty love the Frida with flowers.
Fantastic design. Gorgeous work.

Hello Patty

I love the language of flowers…they fill me up with good vibes dancing in the breezes. My irises and my coriopsis (spelling???)flowers are so close to opening up to me in the warmth of this afternoon’s sunshine. I love your Wednesday Works! Happy Cinco de Mayo!!! Imagine and Live in Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
