I’ve been catching up after all the posts last week. Hope you have been having a nice few days! I have been working…I consider it my quest to fly around the country looking for spring. I have found a few glimpses. I don’t mean to seem obsessed but seriously, it is time for spring to arrive and stay! We have a great sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches from the lovely Amy O’Neill. I love all the options!
I started with this gorgeous sentiment pairing from the Hello Lovely stamp set (Concord and 9th). I stamped it in Versafine Onyx Black ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I chose the little cherry blossom style flowers from the Beautiful Branches stamp set (Concord and 9th) and stamped them using Altenew’s Coral Berry Ink. Then I heat embossed with clear powder. I added the stamens of the flowers in black in and heat embossed with clear again. The flowers are a bit bolder than what I had in mind to start (my tree had pretty pale pink flowers) but I was happy with the colors once I was done. I found some retired card stock to match the ink for the sketch panel behind the images.
I’m also entering this in the Where Creativity Meets C9 challenge. So glad you stopped in today. The team at FMS has created such fun interpretations of the sketch. Also, make sure you say a special thank you to Tracey McNeely for being an awesome guest!

Your Spring blossoms are lovely! I love the little pops of color against the gray and white. I hope Spring finds its way home to you soon.
Well hello lovely right back atcha! This card is lovely for sure! So elegant! I love the simple red flowers as accents!
This is so pretty!
CAS perfection! A beautiful card for spring – and I’m sure it’s out there somewhere. I’ve seen a few glimpses this week 🙂
Beautiful! I absolutely adore this sentiment and the font. Your colors are fabulous!
Hey Jennifer,
Did you FIND spring – and do you really mean you literally FLEW (like in a plane) to different spots to find it? Its here, you can come craft with me haha!
Love all the white space on your card. I don’t think the color is too bold at all – its eye catching! Also, good reminder for me to not only stamp my sentiments but to emboss for that final touch!
