Still working on my mojo, and the newest digi from Power Poppy was the perfect one to get me coloring - easy coloring too. I used two cherry blossom branches and arranged them on my card inside a square and added one of the sweet sentiments that I will definitely use a lot. Who doesn't love to receive a "happy hello" card from a friend? I colored it very simply (and quickly) inspired by a photo I found on the internet, and then I tried my hand at "pointillism" around the branch for my shading. It's my first attempt, and I will definitely try it again. Then I trimmed my image and adhered it to a scalloped square die, and I adhered that to a 4½" square card base. It's simple and easy to mail, and I have already finished coloring another one to build up my stash.
Thanks so much for taking a closer look at my easy CAS card! I hope to keep on coloring. Have a beautiful week...and spring will eventually come and warm us all up! Hugs!

Very beautiful...you placed the branches just right to look natural, and your pointillism is perfect. You have so much natural talent. I always look forward to your work dear friend.

Boom, there it is my friend! You're mojo is back (personally I don't think it ever left) *smiling* Terrific job on the "pointillism" nice and soft. I know you feel challenged by sketch layouts, but... (lean in close), I like your classic layouts - it's your style, embrace it! Beautiful card.
