It's me again and I know I have been in a festive seasonal mood, but tonights card is a little more spring feeling! I don't know though, because cherries don't come on until summer in the upper Michigan area...but this little cherryblossom bittybloom was needing to be colored. Maybe it's the juicy reds that always get me, or the fact that I could eat cherries till the cows come home. They are my favorite fruit, hands down...then raspberries, yummm. I am getting sidetracked thinking about fruit and I don't have either of them handy right now.
This here card has lots of layers tonight and I have been trying to do that on purpose. I can easily stick an image in the middle of a card and love it...but when I see cards from other artists...I drool. I wonder why I can do that too. So, I have been taking my card making a tad bit slower these days, thinking it out and planning, playing. Cherryblossom is colored with my prismacolor pencils and blended with gamsol, and as always...colored onBella's bestest paper. The paper is October Afternoon and matches so well with my colored cherry. I added the glossy, 3D Ranger liquid on my cherries, Glossy Accents. I have talked about this before, it is so clear, not yellowing like some other glazes on the market. The punch is from SU, one of my last purchases with them, very girly.
On a personal note, I am about 1/2 way done going through and reading the comments for my blog candy. I can not tell you how much fun I have been having seeing a little into others minds. Christmas is my favorite holiday because I LOVE my tree, or to be exact, I LOVE the ornaments on my tree. I am not a sentimental person who hangs on to every scrap of paper, or 'stuff'. {thank goodness, I did NOT unherit that from my mom} But my ornaments...I would be seriously, forever upset if something happened to my 20 plus, year collection. Well, you didn't come here for that now did ya! lol
I love the comments you guys!
