Hello and welcome back! Here's today's card:
This card was inspired by the recipe challenge at As You See It and the challenge at Shopping Our Stash.
I have friends who live near Washington, DC with an anniversary coming up. A card with cherry blossoms is perfect, and fits this challenge, too!
I pulled out some "vintage" Primrose Petals Core'dinations cardstock, ran it through my Big Shot with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder, then rubbed it with a sanding block to expose the color inside. The cherry blossoms are colored with Pink Pirouette and Old Olive Stampin' Blends and I added a Primrose Petals bow and some Heart Pearls to embellish the card.
Thanks for stopping by, and happy stamping!

That Core-dination card was so good - I think I might have some tucked away somewhere too! Perfect challenge to dig it out again. I like the way you've put the five elements together - thanks for joining us at As You See It Challenge.
ReplyDeleteThat core-dination cardstock is perfect for the distressed, embossed look and really allows those cherry blossoms to shine Cindi. Thanks for playing our recipe challenge over at As You See It!

I got to travel to DC to see the Cherry Blossoms several years ago and they were so lovely ... such beautiful blooms ... so very glad you joined us at Shopping Our Stash.
ReplyDeleteSeeing those cherry blossoms in person is one of the things on my bucket list - maybe next year!
