Hyacinth thank you

Hi Everyone, my card was made as a thank you for these wonderful hyacinths I received from my SiL, for helping her on a simple thing. I certainly didn't think I deserved them, but with their perfume and beauty I accepted gracefully :) Aren't they beautiful? The little bag was packed with them.
I had a hyacinth stamp and hadn't used it, surprise surprise! and I thought it would be perfect for this occasion. The trouble is, I sent the card before taking a piccie of it, so I made a few others with a changed sentiment. No piccie which means I can't remember what I did, except I know I added a stamp to the base of the hyacinth, so here's the second take so to speak. I even did "splatters", now you must be proud of me? another first!

    WOW those flowers are gorgeous ans so is your card. Faith she wouldn't have done it if she didn't feel you deserved it. It may have been for all that you do for her that warms her heart. Just enjoy and realize that you are such a wonderful person that is special and valued. Hugs since knew that before today!!!

    How gorgeous this is, Faith! I love how you added the tea cup to the hyacinth! I love hyacinths--I can't recall a sweeter scent. Unfortunately, the bunnies around my yard like them, too, so they always seem to win the battle! I guess that is why I love daffodils so much! No critters seem to want to have them for brunch!! hahahahaha
    Good for you for trying new things! I'm usually stuck in the same old routine!
