i used my stamp positioner to stamp the cherry blossoms, cut out three of the flowers and popped them on glue dots. the flowers and stems were watercoloured with distress inks, stickles were added to the centres, and everything was matted. i stamped the cherry blossoms in white ink around the edges.
thanks for looking.

OMGosh, I just read your sweet comment on the other card I uploaded today. Those were some very sweet words. Thank you so much. I had to come back and revisit your IC card. Interestingly, I could never create anything like this. Isnt that funny. You've certainly accomplished your objective to be simplistic in nature, that's for sure, and there is beauty in simplicity as definitely evidenced by your card. Great work if I didnt already tell you that.

So very lovely, Linda! It's clear how you were inspired by that lovely inspiration envelope. Popping up random blossoms is a great effect!! And the color scheme and layout have a great Asian feel. This is a really wonderful note card

I like the spring-like feel with the white background. It really makes the cherry blossom pop. The curved corners opposite each other add a touch of sophistication. Perfect!
