My SC322 sympathy card using the beautiful new SU Easter Blossoms cherry blossom stamp. Thanks Roxie for a really cool layout. I was challenged when I decided to use the Scallop Trim corner and border punches, but I made them all turn out :-) You do not want to know how long it took for me to make this card, but it was so much creative fun!
I watercolored the pink blossoms using my blender pen and pink pirouette refill ink. The polka dot layer is vellum specialty CS over Shimmery White CS. The Shimmery White CS is nice if you do not want a real bright white with a subtle shimmer and.......it watercolors beautifully :-)
The top layer of Shimmery White is mounted over the Shimmery White base to hide the back of the grommet and ribbon. Enjoy and TFL......
This also fits this weeks WT312 challenge to use "Spots" !

Wow, Nancy! This is stunning and an absolute treasure! I love that you used those wonderful scallop edge punches. I have that same corner punch and have used it only once...first the time last weekend.
