Cherry blossoms


Hello, fellow crafters
The world is quiet in peak traffic time but the birds are chirping in trees in the garden. Today I am hearing weavers, sparrows and bulbuls. I know the red crested barbet will be visiting a bit later in the morning.
This card features three layers of lacy borders from a  Pinkfresh Studio set of 5 border dies, available in our online store. https://www.purplemagnolia.co.za/search?type=product&q=Pinkfresh


The cherry blossoms were made using Heartfelt Creations dies on thick watercolour paper. First, I added a drop of water in the centre of each of the blossoms with a water brush. Then I added a drop of pink watercolour onto the moistened flower centres. To shape a whole bunch at the same time, I lightly spritzed the die-cut flower with water, placed them in the co-ordinating shaping mould and rolled them through my die-cutting machine. The cherry blossom set can also be ordered from our online store. The set has a delightful little birdie that can be used to add an extra finishing touch to any card with flowers https://www.purplemagnolia.co.za/search?type=product&q=Cherry+blossom
Happy crafting, until next time
Marie Smith
