Linda (Holstein) thought of a great challenge today..to showcase your state's (province, country) flower. I knew what Minnesota's state flower was , the Lady Slipper, but locating a stamp of that flower was another story. Though I have a large catalog of stamps I didn't have that one. I did what any resourceful person would do..check Google image! The pink and white part is supposedly the slipper although I think it might look more like a bootie or moccasin. I guess that wouldn't sound right...hmmm

I love the layout you created for this beautiful card, and what a lovely flower! Pink, green and white; one of my favorite color combinations - love the embossing folders you used, too : ) Wonderful card today, Polly!

lady slippers are awesome flowers. your image is wonderful and i'm assuming you colored it with the Copics, which makes it look like a botanical drawing. wonderful!

What a pretty flower, and it's beautiful on your card. I'd say that, google was very busy today. LOL. I love your layout, and your ef's, and your scalloped round, frames the lady slipper beautifully. The gems, and ribbon, are the perfect additions. tfs.
