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!

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

ReplyDeleteOMG...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..
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards Bonnie. Love both version. The flower stamp is perfect for wisteria, and you've watercoloured to perfection. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous cards. This is great to show off how one stamp looks different in different settings.
ReplyDeleteOh 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.
ReplyDeleteThis 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.
ReplyDeleteThat 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
ReplyDeleteHi 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.
ReplyDeleteThese 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.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful designs using this lovely wisteria stamp Bonnie! LOVE that anniversary sentiment too! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteThese are both lovely, Bonnie. I love the cropped image with the embossed background.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Bonnie! I am commenting on the small wisteria which I think is charming. Less is more. Perfecto.
ReplyDeleteTwo 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
ReplyDeleteOh 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
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteI love the delicately embossed strip behind the focal image. Fab xxx
