Here is the photo that I used as inspiration.

Growing Lupine

I used PTI’s Flower Favorites to make this card. I’m loving this stamp. Lupine remind me of my home State of Maine.

I stamped the flowers in SU’s Rose Red, Melon Mambo and Whisper White. To the tops of the lupine, I added some more white with a gel pen. I also did some sponging and added SU’s Soft Sky and Pool Party ink to the background.

I had so many ideas for this stamp that I made a total of 4 different card with it! Check out the others below.

  16. Melissa, your cards are beautiful! The coloring on your lupine look so real. We have them growing all along the front banking in our yard. They’ve just recently gone by and are turning to seed. You’ve captured their true beauty perfectly!
