Cherry Blossoms

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

I hope you had a nice weekend and found some time to get creative.

This card was made with a new Simon Says Stamp embossing folder and die set.

I love being able to get the embossed details in the die cuts and when they

offered a discount on their embossing folders, I gave in to the temptation.

I thought that Donna's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches would be a good

fit for these little blooms.

Here's her sketch....

I used the smallest stitched rectangle die and cut six from Solar White Cardstock. 

Then on to the embossing folder.  The die cuts three so I cut once from mixed

media paper and colored with Distress Re-inkers used as watercolor.  The leaves

were from another die.

After the flowers had dried, I used a white gel pen to highlight details and a

tiny gem for the center to tie the flowers to the sentiment strip.
