Today's Ways to Use it challenge is to use an image with a state flower on it. I chose Hawaii's hibiscus state flower. The stamp set is called "Hum Along" by Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. I used my Spectrum Noir pens to color the image and made it a birthday card. I cut the mad and shadow the from Elegant Edges cartridge by Cricut.
Happy July 4th!
TFL!

It's so exciting to learn what the state flowers are around the world! I love your lush hibiscus flower.....such a beautiful state flower. Love your background embossing too and the summer colours.

I love hibiscus......in Bermuda they grow wild along the roadsides, and what a delight to see them against the greenery. Beautiful colors, Patty!

I love your hibiscus and the little hummingbird! I've seen hibiscus in Greece, and in the Tropical House in our Botanic Gardens, but I've yet to see a hummer!
