I love this cherry image! I think it could be used for many occasions. Here I have matched it with this specific paper because of the message around the outside!! They are perfect for each other!I stamped the image on watercolor paper and it is colored with mostly twinkling H20's. It was cut out with my circle nestability.  I have added some distress crackle paint around the edges for more detail! I wanted to leave it rather simple as I didn't want to take away from the image.

For each flower I stamped two images for a total of four flowers on white cardstock, and cut them out using the matching Peony Nestabilities. The nice thing is the stamps match the die’s… so cutting them out was fast.  Color all flowers with Prismacolor Pencils listed below. Bottom flower: Cut around the large bottom petal, and continue up past the flower center. Second flower: Cut out the top petal completely.  Slide the rest of the flower up and under the large cut out petal of the first flower. After cutting and embossing the Classic Lace Border Grand, and Labels One die template from white cardstock, spray various colors of Glimmer Mist.  When I do torn corners like the one shown here, I like very thick cardstock so I can separate it.  So one piece of cardstock looks like two which is what happened here.  Take the Gold Leafing pen, and go around all edges, and smudge with your finger.  Color and cut out the leaves with scissors.The velvet ribbon used on this card is not quite that dark…  it’s a deep burgundy, not black.  No matter how I turned the card, it looked dark.  What you can’t see is the flowers are 3D. in real life they are really pretty, and I love the touches of gold.

Cardstock: Botanical Bliss/Sunshine Paper – My Mind’s Eye. Stamp Pads: Latte Ranger, Currant, Espresso Adirondack Dye Pads – Patina, Perfect Peach, Honey Dew Mist, Gingerbread – Glimmer Mist.
