Welcome to the Hopping Around the World Hop where our theme this month is ‘flowers’. If you have hopped over from Jennifer Downey’s blog or started the hop with me…..welcome. I have chosen to use the gorgeous Forever Blossoms stamp set which is part of the Parisian Suite in the new Spring/Summer catalogue.

To recreate the Cherry Blossoms card you will need:

Old Olive card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Basic Black 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Whisper White 5¼” by 3½” – rounded upper left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner – for the inside
Old Olive 1” by 3 ½”
Whisper White ¾” by 3½”

I inked up the gorgeous, large blossom image with Momento Tuxedo Black ink and stamped it randomly on the smaller Whisper White panel.

The image was coloured in using the following Blends Markers – open flowers in dark Daffodil Delight and light So Saffron. Buds using dark Daffodil Delight and dark So Saffron. The leaves and stems were coloured in using the Old Olive Combo. I added the dots around the flower centres with the dark Basic Black marker. Using a small paintbrush I flicked on some Vegas Gold Shimmer Paint onto the stamped panel.

The sentiment from the Perennial Birthday stamp set was stamped in Old Olive ink onto the strip of Whisper White card stock and glued to the Old Olive strip. I added Tear n Tape to the back of the sentiment panel and added strips of Scalloped Lace Ribbon to the top and bottom.

This panel was then added to the Calypso Coral panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. This piece was then added to the Merry Merlot card base on Dimensionals.
