It's almost time for the Wisteria to bloom around here.
That's what this Penny Black stamp makes me think of.
This is such a versatile stamp!
I used it HERE for a Christmas card.
We used this stamp for a card at class last weekend.
This little image was from a test piece.
The Flower Challenge was on my mind, so I cut a piece of the image
and used that sketch. It's one of my favorite layouts.
I hope it's OK to add the sentiment. I knew this would be perfect for my DB & SIL
for their anniversary.
Here's the card we did in class.
Using the MISTI makes inking this a breeze!
I raided my butterfly box so they could add a little something extra to the card.
I tend to do this little butterfly in multiples to have on hand.
Colored with Rich Razzleberry is my favorite, but they had many choices of colors.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

both cards are wonderful but the first one is my favorite - that little embossed strip is just perfect in the background
Ooh, they are both stunning Bonnie! LOVE the partial embossing on the first and that darling little focal piece! I love how you embossed the frame on the second one too and that lovely little butterfly sets it off perfectly! Have a lovely evening and a wonderful Easter weekend! Luv n’ Hugs. Hazel xx

Two beautiful cards Bonnie...love the sentiment on the first one...hard to choose between them both they are both so lovely.
Just love both of these cards, Bonnie - gorgeous wisteria!!
This great stamp looks totally different with the varied colors & placement of the design. Looks stunning over the pretty embossing border too. Love the class card very much, and the butterfly is a super additional embellie. Bet it was a fun class! TFS & Hugs
Both cards are beautiful, Bonnie. I love the first one with the wonderful sentiment.

These two cards are so classy, love the subtleness. The first is perfection for the anniversary of your friends!
The horizontal embossed strip really catches my eye, beautiful xx
Loving the texture of the dry embossing.Such a pretty stamp and the prettiest of colour. Yes the Misti is fabulous but it's how you execute it and your cards are amazing x
Lucky you, having wisteria about to bloom! Beautiful use of the Flower Challenge sketch! And a lovely anniversary card as well.
OMG...Susan, I LOVE your PB wisteria image. So beautifully colored and both cards are such wonderful designs. Your DB and SIL will LOVE their very special card. TFS and making me add your stamp from PB to my wishlist. Hugs..
Gorgeous cards Bonnie. Love both version. The flower stamp is perfect for wisteria, and you've watercoloured to perfection. xx
What gorgeous cards. This is great to show off how one stamp looks different in different settings.
Oh yes, beautiful flower cards. Love wisteria. And I am another one who "hates" it when other crafters enable us!! Will look for a similar stamp. Your watercolor is awesome.
This is just gorgeous, Bonnie! Every time I see your gorgeous designs I somehow have to have the stamp! Another one for my wish list. Love the clean look of these, so tastefully done and the embossed background looks fabulous with it.
That is a sweet and versatile stamp, Bonnie, and I just love how you have shown us what it is capable of doing! Your cards are sensational!! Enjoy the Easter weekend and that wisteria when it pops out in all its glory!! Hugs, Darnell
Hi Bonnie. back to the cold and wet of England - typical Easter holiday weather! Have left Mr Mojo on a sunbed somewhere as I simply have no ideas at all so instead am just playing a quick catch up round blogland.
These are two lovely cards. Can't keep up with all the gorgeous stamps there are about but think I may have to invest in a little Wisteria!
So sophisticated and so very "Klassy" - beautifully done!!

after seeing all these gorgeous cards that PB stamp is now on my must have list. you are right so versatile.
Two beautiful designs using this lovely wisteria stamp Bonnie! LOVE that anniversary sentiment too! Julia xx
These are both lovely, Bonnie. I love the cropped image with the embossed background.
Happy Easter Bonnie! I am commenting on the small wisteria which I think is charming. Less is more. Perfecto.
Two gorgeous cards Bonnie!the first is just perfect for our challenge too. Love the embossing and such delicate stamping and design too.Thank you so much for sharing with us over at 'The Flower Challenge' and we hope to see you again soon ;) Viv DT xx
Oh my word, both of these cards are stunning Bonnie! I love that embossing folder you used on the first card. I agree, this stamp set looks like it could be used in so many different ways and seasons! It is such a beautiful stamp and I am totally in love with it. lol Hugs, Brenda
I adore both these cards using the beautiful Wisteria Bonnie. You have used the sketch so cleverly and I really love the embossed border and the pretty little square on top, and the second larger focal image and gorgeous butterfly is accompanied perfectly by that delightful embossed background. x
I love the delicately embossed strip behind the focal image. Fab xxx
