This week's sketch by Mercy was a wonderful opportunity to use this set I haven't inked up yet! Just love all the options you have with this set and since my prior post talked about cherry tree blossoms in spring making me happy, I had to carry the theme over :DThis is a pretty straight forward card. Each flower is popped up and has a little bling to the middle. I debated about having or not having a bird in the tree and ended up not adding it in - maybe next time :D The flower border is a Martha Stewart punch I got for my birthday and the center of each border flower also got blinged (think I just made that word up LOL!). Not sure if it is overkill, but it looked too plain without it so the bling stayed. I tried various embossing folders for the white background panel and finally settled on scoring it at half inch intervals with my Scor-Pal to add a bit of "oomph" and dimension to that layer. I finished things off with some ribbon along the bottom.
Thanks for popping in today. I hope you have a wonderful day :D

Love the background texture and the fab colours. The bling looks terrific and definitely not overdone!
Super cute, great blossoms!
So pretty! I love this set!
I love how you popped up the pink flowers. That is something I've never thought of doing with this set. And the blinged punch definitely works with this card! I love the little jewels... They add just the right finishing touch.
Such a pretty SPRINGTIME card! Just what I needed to see today as our high was only 10 degrees. Really like the punched border and extra bling. Thanks for joining us in Mercy's Sketch Challenge! Smiles, Pam :)
