Club Scrap Cherry Blossoms Blog Hop & Linky Party

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

Welcome to Club Scrap's April Blog Hop & Linky Party!
This month, we're featuring the beautiful Cherry Blossoms Collection!

If you came from Club Scrap's Blog (Karen's Post), you're in the right place!
Your next stop will be Kay's Blog!

First, I have a couple of cards, using Cherry Blossoms Digital Kit and paper from Cherry Blossoms Deluxe Kit:


I printed the patterned papers, sentiments and digi stamps.
I distressed the edges of the printed panel and printed sentiment, added some sequined embroidery thread on the right side of the panel and adhered them to card.
I cut out the flowers, colored them with alcohol-based markers and adhered them on card.
I was going to add Dimensional Magic on the flowers, and once I did on one, I thought it was smudging the image, so I stopped there.
I also adhered a Cherry Blossoms Fan Charm on the right bottom side.

For the inside of the card, I just trimmed a printed paper, adhered it and added the trimmed sentiment:


The second card is a variation on a Gate Fold Card with a belly band:


For the belly band, I used a printed border and a cut out flower.
Then, I cut out the prints I wanted to use and adhered them on the card:


I also decorated the inside...I used a brown gel pen to draw strings on the lanterns, trimmed a printed paper, adhered it and added the trimmed sentiment:


And last, but not the least, I made a scrapbook page...a simple one, since I don't like to cover the designs of pretty papers:


Challenges:
1. Simon Says Wed: AGoes
2. Simon Says Mon: We've Got Your Number

I used a Cherry Blossoms Embellishment Cutapart with distressed edges on the top and adhered some layered photo mats.
I added little details like Cherry Blossoms Embellishment Pack Flower Sequins and Cherry Blossoms Embellishment White Micro Brads in the flowers' centers:


I also added some Blossom Stickers on flowers' centers and other spots.
I like that red photo mat...it's kinda shiny! =)
Finally, I added some gold (CTMH) and foam (American Crafts) stickers.

    Ooooh the pop of yellow on the cherry blossoms really makes them stand out and I like that you share the "boo-boos" of your papercrafting! I don' think they look smudged at all! I absolutely love the overlapping of the images on the gatefold card, the belly band is perfect! GREAT LO! It seems we always make things for other people as crafters, glad you made something for yourself. Congrats on making the big 40!

    Love your page design.Thank you for blessing us with your artwork here at Word Art Wednesday. Please join us again soon. Leaving you with the inspiration of the scripture from Jeremiah 17:7 (KJV) which says, "Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is."
