Watercolored Cherry Blossoms

Hi Everyone! It’s Melody here today. I have a project to share created with the Cherry Blossoms Stamp Set and the Cherry Blossoms Coordinating Dies. I was so excited when Pretty Pink Posh added flowers to their product line and the new Cherry Blossoms are definitely a favorite.

Let’s start out by talking about the card front. I used the new Stacked Edges 2 Die. There are three dies in the die set and I am using the v shaped die for inspiration for the layout. I cut the die twice, once from white cardstock and again from black cardstock. I layered the die cuts in the middle of card, adding white cardstock at the top and a patterned paper on the bottom.

At the top of the card I stamped a sentiment from the Encouraging Greetings Stamp Set in black ink. Next I stamped the flowers and leaves on watercolor paper in white pigment ink and embossed with white embossing powder. The flowers and leaves are colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brushes.

When the flowers were dry, I die cut with the Cherry Blossoms Coordinating Dies. Once I was happy with the placement of the flowers and leaves I added them to the card front with glue and foam tape. In the center of each flower I added a Watermelon Jewels.

I love how this card came together and I hope you do too. Thanks for joining me today!
