Blossom

This week's theme at CD Sunday is 'Spring is in the Air'.

One of my favourite things about spring is seeing the blossom on the trees , so I set off to search my CDs for a blossom image.  I found this one in My Craft Studio 'Quintessential Country Garden', and went for the black and white digi-stamp version in the NSR section.  Then I created the sentiment using the Add Text button. After printing, I coloured in the blossom using Promarkers.

I made the background paper by grabbing a 'colour' from the same Cd and covering it with multiple blossom images.

Now I look at my finished card , I realise it isn't what most people would consider to be a 'spring' card (including me!) No green, for example!  Never mind: spring hasn't quite made it to my area yet,so I'm sure I'll have plenty of time to perfect my spring-y card look.

    I think your card is perfect for spring. The cherry blossom always appears before the leaves and your interpretation is beautiful.

    I think it's a beautiful spring image. So many plants and trees have their blossom before any green buds appear. Love the way you've made the perfect backing paper for it.

    Marina, I love it and to me it says cherry blossom! And that seems pretty springtime! So clever to be able to do this digi style, I couldn't imagine being this creative using digital images.

    Flowers in full bloom - In my part of the world that's definitely a sign of spring:) Your card is really beautiful, with the clean design and the decorative cherry blossoms.
