Hello Hollyhocks

Hello August!  This is my card for a personal challenge I had hoped to do monthly, but this only my second card for 2022.  I signed up for the Technique Tuesday Greenhouse Society subscription and have received 7 months of floral stamps and the matching die.  I dropped out as I have not used the ones I already have received--so now I do hope to continue the challenge, but maybe not monthly...........................

The set I picked for this month is called Hello Hollyhocks and it does come with coordinating dies.  right now we have hollyhocks blooming and some of the plants came from the seeds I got from my mom more than 30 years ago!   I colored the image with my Copic Sketch Markers and die cut the hollyhocks.  I also stamped 2 butterflies from the same set and die cut those too.  The sentiment is from the same set and I die cut that with a die from Stampin' Up's Tasteful Labels set.  The background is a fun embossing folder from Cuttlebug and Anna Griffin called Matekasse.  I added some Studio Katia clear enamel dots along with white twine for the final touch.  I think this is a sweet image.

I hope Terry and the others swappers like my card this month too! Terry has posted all of the 2022 themes, so be sure to come back to see what we create!
