Cherry Blossoms Card

Feeling a bit ready for some Spring time so changed the background on my blog with the cherry blossoms and just happen to have a card that works well with it.

The First Edition designer series paper (#121878) works great with the branch of blossoms from the Easter Blossoms stamp set (#121905 or #122057), both from the Occasions Mini Catalog.



I stamped the blossom branch with Early Espresso ink and then colored the blossoms with Stampin' Pastels (#120962). The bird and sentiment is from the Hostess level 1 set Silhouette Sentiments and are punched out with the Decorative Label Punch (#120907). The roses are from the Springtime Vintage paper (#121782), I cut them out from the patterned paper.

Of course, I can hardly make a card without using my Big Shot (#113439). I used the Square Lattice (#119976) and the Framed Tulips (#121809) embossing folders.

Think Spring!

Happy Stampin'-
