Cherry Blossom Card


I can't believe I made this card three years ago and never posted it! Since the cherry blossoms are nearly out in the D.C. area, I figure now is as good a time as any.


I used So Saffron as the base, with a layer of Mellow Moss, and Naturals White for the image. The flower from Heartfelt Thanks was inked in Blush Blossom and then the edges were rolled in Cameo Coral stamped and cut out. So Saffron ink was used for the center of the main flower. The background flowers were inked in Blush Blossom and "stamped off" once before stamping on the Naturals White layer. The stems were inked with Mellow Moss and stamped off as well. The layer of Mellow Moss cardstock was stamped with Mellow Moss ink using the now retired Canvas background stamp, but any textural stamp would work just fine.


About a 1/2 inch was cut from the bottom front of the card and then the edge was paper pierced and stamped with "spring" from the now retired Everyday Flexible Phrases in So Saffron. Grosgrain and Gingham ribbon were attached through a hole punched with the slot punch to finish it off.


Happy Stamping!
