Cherry blossoms

Hello. Playing in two challenges today. The Paper Players is all about pink and The Twofer Card Challenge is about blossoms. Here is what I did with them.



The cherry blossom stamp is from Technique Tuesday's Greenhouse Society. They are stamped in versafine, heat embossed with clear embossing powder and colored with Copic's.  Sentiment on the top card is from Technique Tuesday and the bottom sympathy sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink.

On the bottom card, I stamped the cherry blossom branch randomly onto a piece of Neenah solar white, heat embossed with detail white embossing powder and then used Distress spun sugar ink to color it. Dot rectangle dies are from My Favorite Things.

Thanks for stopping by!

  1. There's just something special about pink, isn't there?! And pink cherry blossoms make these cards extra special. You've colored them beautifully, and those soft tones make me smile. Love the popped up branch with the pretty patterned paper on your base. These are two beauties! Thank you for joining us at the Twofer Challenge! Bev

  2. Two beautiful cards, Laurie. The delicate colour and abundance of white space make them appropriate for two such diverse sentiments. Thank you for joining us at The Paper Players this week.

  3. These are so real looking that I swear I can smell them, Laurie! You have truly brought spring to Blogland with your beautiful cherry blossom designs! The blossoms really pop on your sympathy card with that beautiful background peeking out and I love all the crisp white with a narrow band of the pink base showing on your very CAS birthday card!! Thank you so much for playing along with us at Twofer Card Challenge #3!! Hugs, Darnell

  7. Your cherry blossom cards are so beautiful Laurie! Add the second branch and popping it up over top really makes it look so much different than the single branch. Thanks for playing along with us at Twofer Card Challenge.
