Cherry Blossoms

 Hi There:

I love the cherry blossoms in the spring.  I was gifted this stamp set for a recent birthday so it had to come out to play.


Two takes on the main stamp of this set from CTMH.  Pink and Green for Color Hues, and more of a pastel take for The Flower Challenge


First for Color Hues using Tombow markers and mixed media paper with the blender pen. Finished with a scalloped edge and some pink gems.




The second card for The Flower Challenge used Tombow markers on neenah paper with no blender pen. Finished with scalloped edge, and a ribbon fed through some of the interior stitches on the panel.




Thanks so much for visiting.

These are lovely. Do you prefer one over the other? The first looks a bit more delicate from the photo, but hard to see other differences. I just read that the Cherry Blossoms in DC are early this year. Your cards are very timely.

OMGosh, Cat, you used Tombows and your cherry blossoms turned out so beautiful! This really is a pretty stamp and the sweet card design with scalloped edge is perfect for it. Love both!

I keep walking round my neighbourhood keeping an eye on the cherry trees so I don't miss a moment of their blossom. They are currently poised to open. We just need a little bit of warmth, I just love them. these cards are wonderful Cat. I love the softness xx

Both are just beautiful, Cat! The 16 Cherry Trees down our neighbor's fence line are in full bloom now & I love seeing them!
