More Cherry Blossoms

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

After I made this card, I kept on playing with the embossing folder and die set.
No challenges, just the result of some relaxing fun.


Using Donna's sketch again.  I cut the rectangles from pink paper and inked
the raised flowers with a darker shade of pink ink.


This background was  done the same way of the previous card with the addition
of a few die cut and embossed blossoms along with a sweet butterfly.


This time I patted a white pigment ink pad over the raised embossing on medium blue.


The buttercups in the lawn inspired this one.

That embossing folder has really inspired you, Bonnie. Sometimes it's therapeutic to just play creatively and not be bound by prompts. Your creativity shines in all those beautiful cards, my friend.

All three cards are beautiful! I love the soft colors and beauty of the first two but the buttercup sure do scream Spring. Your verse card is amazing, I adore those big scripture focals

I'm oohing and aahing over each one, Bobbie! Thanks for the smiles!
