I have a New 2 U card today. I made this one for Flourishes' recent release and haven't yet posted!
This one is super duper easy peasy. I stamped my Cherry Blossoms with Versamark Sepia ink onto Flourishes European watercolor paper and then spent some time just watercoloring! I used my Distress Inks to bring in the color and picked up Worn Lipstick, Spun Sugar, Peeled Paint and Tea Dye. I love to use the reinkers, and put a droplet into a paint palette picking up the color with a water brush. After I was done, I used the petite ovals to cut my shape. I matted it up on a piece of brown paper that I had stamped with the Basketweave stamp. The rest is just matting it up! Take Labels 8 die with some decorative paper and then sand the edges, add some dimension with a CB embossing folder to your main mat (Swiss dots) Add a little gold leaf edging, some pearls, and some ivory crochet lace trim and... voila! I love the vintage feel!
Hope you are able to kick your feet up and relax a bit this weekend! I have no idea why -- but when Memorial Day weekend hits, I think I NEED to do home improvement projects so hubby and I are in the middle of finishing a painting job and organizing our storage area. Sounds like a blast-- doesn't it??? :-)
See you back here soon (that is if all the stuff in storage doesn't fall on me and bring me to my early death! -- just kiddin'!! I hope.)
Take care!

Gorgeous card, Julie. Lots of pretty layers and your coloring is wonderful. We are due for a weekend full of rain here so I am looking forward to spending most of my weekend making cards and celebrating our 25th anniversary! Enjoy your weekend as much as you can!
Very pretty. Hope you have fun painting and organizing (LOL) you know if you break a wrist and/or ankle you get out of that. :)
But I don't recommend it.
Have a great weekend.
Sorry it's drippy there, but you are making good use of your time with painting and organizing. It's warm (like 90ish) and sunny and I drug Jeff to the lawn mower races this afternoon. Wild times in the lower middle of the mitten. Pretty card - - I like that basketweave and those blossoms, but I doubt I could ever make them look that good if I had them.
Soft and beautiful pink tones and then the pop of flower..lovely card. Mom
Love the blossoms but really love the basketweave behind them!!:) Hot and humid here in Northern Illinois but they say rain tonight and tomorrow morning. Having a cookout this afternoon!! A/C on too!
This is sooo beautiful! What a spectacular layout! TFS
