More Hibiscus

I have a few more hibiscus cards for you today.  Aloha Hibiscus from Frantic Stamper  (FRA-DIE-09933) was used to make all three cards.  For this first card, I decided to weave kraft paper strips, it reminds me of lauhala weaving that is such an art form here in Hawaii.  (Someday, I will have a sassy lauhala hat!)

 

The second card features the hibiscus that is native to Hawaii.  It is pure white with a red and yellow stamen.  If you can trust the internet, it is the only hibiscus with a scent.  Next time I see one, Iʻm going to check it out.

The background was stamped on a panel cut using Frantic Stamper Stitched Rectangles (FRA-DIE-09640) using Artful Mess (FRA-CL-151) clear stamp set.  I stamped with distress oxide colors reminiscent of a beautiful Hawaiian sunset.

This is the final card in the series.  As I mentioned, I had a hard time with mojo when I started, but then I couldnʻt stop.  I still have a few flowers colored up, so you may see more in the future.

For this card I also used Frantic Stamper die Meshy Background (FRA-DIE-10975). This die makes me think of the fish nets I see down at the marina. The actual die is a good size (3.5 x 4.75 inches), so I cut it in kraft card and tore off a piece to back another hibiscus typically seen locally.

 

Thanks so much for checking in.  I really appreciate your comments.  If you ever have any questions, please donʻt hesitate to ask.

Aloha,
