I must say, this series of mine has improved, esp. with my flowers! I tried matching the stamp with "abstract" watercolors and I LOVE how they turned out!

I tried to make it look like the flower was attached to the stem,
but not as good as my other floral stamps.
This one I found super fun, as well as creative:
Her name is Amy Garten, and I knew "garten" was also a foreign word (was hoping it was "garden") and when I looked it up, it was! So, I did "Flower Garden" in French for the env., and for the insert, in English. (see below for close-ups)
Cathy's didn't turn out quite as well, as her letters were tricky. At first, I just had the stamp, and although it looked ok, it just still seemed a tad bare. So, I added mini "buds".
Now for close-ups, inserts & details:
For Peggy's (first one I did from this set), I used a marker for the flowers (as in past versions). But then, I decided to try watercolors for the env., and so glad I did!

I'm so happy with how they turned out. (but the blue one is too close tot he N)
Here's the insert.
I love the droopy one.

I like this, but the printed lettering is off (grrrr!) -- the "It's" looks like Tis and it should be closer to Spring.
This one turned out better:
