Here is a pretty water-coloured cherry blossoms card made using the Forever Blossom stamp set and the emboss resist technique.
Colours used in this project are:
To recreate the water-coloured cherry blossom card, you will need:
Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4 – Rounded lower right corner Flirty Flamingo – 4¼” by 3⅛” – Rounded upper left and lower right corner Shimmery White – 4⅛” by 3” – Rounded upper left and lower right corner Basic White – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded lower right corner Scrap Gold Foil and Early Espresso The gorgeous cherry blossom bough from the Forever Blossoms stamp set was stamped in the upper right and lower left corner in Versamark ink onto the Shimmery White card panel. I then covered the ink with White Embossing Powder and heat set using my Heat Tool.

I used a Water Painter to add So Saffron ink around the stamped images to form the background. The flowers were then coloured using the Water Painter and Flirty Flamingo ink and the leaves with Granny Apple Green ink. So pretty. The piece was then set aside to dry.

I used Crumb Cake ink to stamp the same image at the top and the bottom of the Crumb Cake card base to add a little texture.

The embossed panel was then added to the panel of Flirty Flamingo with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. A length of Linen Thread was wound round the panel and tied in a small bow. The whole panel was then mounted onto the Crumb Cake card base on Dimensionals.

Using the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine I die cut a delicate butterfly form the Brilliant Wings dies in scrap Gold Foil and added it to the card base with a small piece of a Dimensional. The sentiment from the Forever Blossoms stamp set was stamped onto scrap Early Espresso card, covered with the White Embossing Powder and heat set. I trimmed it out with scissors and added it to the card front.

To complete the card, I added a trio of Elegant Faceted Gems. Such a vibrant card, I hope you like it.
