Today I wanted to give you a peek at this months Get Inked stamps....Flowers.
I don't know about the weather where you live but I tell you it's been warm here in NE Indiana...VERY warm... Like in the 80's for the last few days and then the 70's prior to that. They say it's about 35-40 degrees above average. Needless to say the plants, trees, grass, etc has gone nuts. We have flowers blooming that normally don't bloom until May, dh is going to mow the yard tonite and our bushes actually have leaves already!
I don't know if it's going to last or not but I'm not complaining... It only worries me what summer might be like if it's this warm this early.
Which leads me to this months stamps - more fun flowers.... Here are the cards I made using this months kit. There is one additional image that's not shown and it's a poppy.
This months kit extras are Dusty Concord Distress Stain and Rose Quartz Embossing Antiquities EP.
If you'd like to order a March Get Inked kit you can e-mail Vicki @ - info@katsmagicalpatches.com
In addition to the above goodies and stamps you'll also receive instructions on how to create the following cards and 8 different ways to incorporate the Distress Stains into your art. I know there are loads more than 8 but hey, you gotta draw a line somewhere or I'd be writing another book ;) LOL!!
Would you like to win a set of these Flower Stamps?
To enter into the drawing, post a comment telling us your favorite flower species ~ for growing, receiving, or just because you like the looks of them.....
Mine used to be Iris but in the last several years I've been leaning towards day lilies. But then again, I love how lilacs smell in the spring time and how beautiful mums are in the fall... I guess it's pretty hard to pick just one so you can post as many as you'd like :)
You have until 3-31-12 to post a comment to be entered to win!
Good Luck Everyone
and
Remember to take time to smell the flowers!
I love Gerber daises...and I love this set! such pretty creations!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Roni,
ReplyDeleteI have many favorites. Hollyhocks are defintiely in my top five! Others are day lilies (have in my yard), lilacs (have in my yard), daisies and sunflowers.
The wind is terrible here today - very cold. It's supposed to be nice by the weekend!
My lilacs have buds on them already....
Thanks for the chance to win the stamp set!
Hugs,
Kay
Mine has to be poppies , i just love the vibrant colours of them. Beautiful cards x
ReplyDeleteMine is the Iris - it was my mother's name and she grew loads of them in our family garden.
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love all the flowers! I love the crocus because they are first to pop out and I love daisies because they grow everywhere and I like all flowers in between! LOL! It's crazy warm here in NH too! Almost all the snow and mud is gone already! I love it but do worry about water this summer if this keeps up.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Lilacs, I love, love, love the smell nothing better. Your cards are all so pretty, I'd love a chance to win the stamps. Shari (cricutrookie)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful spring cards! Hmmm, I think my favorite flower is whatever is blooming in my yard at the moment, so daffodils it is!
ReplyDelete:-)
I love Star Gazer Lillies-my sister and I both had then in our wedding bouquets. They are gorgeus with their hot pink centers! I,also, love the orangey red of poppies. Their petals look oddly waxy but the color is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHi Roni!
ReplyDeleteLove your cards! My favorite flowers are tulips. But I live in Florida so they aren't as abundant here as they are as you go North.
My 2nd favorite are petunias. We just planted some purple ones with a white border on the flower-they are called Jazz patunias (that's what it said on the container!)
It's warm here too and I am a bit concerned about the summer time weather. Have a great one! :)
Wow...absolutely breathtaking cards! I always love your work!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite cut flowers are sterling roses. They're a super light lavender...almost silver, and although there are lots of purple roses around, true sterling roses have the most awesome smell of any rose ever!!

Our normally mild Pacific northwest is still in winter! I love irises & carnations but really there aren't any that I don't like - even stub-stemmed dandelions picked by my grandson!
ReplyDeleteYour cards are beautiful!
I like what "Vic" said, "even stub-stemmed dandelions picked by my grandson". Even dandelions become beautiful then. One of my favorites is Lily of the Valley. May is my birth month, so those flowers are special to me.
ReplyDeleteLove the stamps, love what you created with them! I adore ginger~so tropical and such a sweet clean scent!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have ever met a flower I didn't like! That said, I do love lilies! I think there is just something magical about their shape, and their heavy aroma reminds me of playing in my yard as a kid on a hot summer day! Your stamps are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flower/floral is Lavender...I had several bushes when we lived in Indiana, just outside the front door, and the wonderful scent would drift into the house. Now that we have come back Chicago way, I can't seem to get it to grow again...so sad!
ReplyDeleteI think I could come up with a new answer every day to this question. But not long ago I was walking around a pubic garden, when it was still chilly, and saw some camellias. They were stunning! Currently I am enamored of them, in all their variety.
ReplyDeleteAwsome cards Roni! I love sweetpeas! They smell so pretty and last a long time. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI just adore sunflowers - the colors, the size...perfection! :)
ReplyDeleteGosh, it's hard to choose a favorite, but I think it would have to be lilacs for their intoxicating scent! But then again, that's the reason I love iris so much as well; that and their overwhelming beauty!! Of course there is peonies and hydrangeas, and buttercups.....ahhhhh, just too too many to choose a favorite! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the smell of lilacs, the yellow in sunflowers, the color and smell of star-gazer lillies, and the colors and delicate look of hollyhocks. But also like to see the trillium in the spring, and bleeding hearts, and - OH! Just one? Sorry - too hard to choose. These stamps are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love all flowers but I have a small daffodil flower that is tiny and it's already about finished so it's my favorite until the iris bloom and then day lillies ect. lol
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards!! Daffodils are my all time fave!
ReplyDeleteI also love gerber daisies. They last so long when cut and placed in a vase, as well as so many great colors. Thank you for the chance to possibly win these goureous stamps.:D
ReplyDeleteI used to say that Calla Lilies were my favorite flowers. Then I went on to Stargazer Lilies. Now I'm in love with Ranunculas. But honestly, is there a flower that isn't wonderful? They're All my favorite!
ReplyDeleteSuch great looking flowers! My favorite flower is a rose -- love the smell and all the different colours.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Roni! I'm lovin' this set! I'm a big fan of lilies! But really I love all flowers! Every one of them has their own unique beauty and add so much to the world!!
ReplyDeleteFor me, it's all about the roses. Tea roses, climbing roses, long stemmed roses, you name it, I love them.
ReplyDeleteI love the beautiful cards you made.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flowers are roses and carnations. I used both flowers in my wedding.
I particularly love orange roses and ranunculus.
