Visible Image - Just Because

Our theme at Visible Image this week is Just Because, so I made this clean and simple card - just because!

It looks like there's been a wedding down our street, with all the cherry blossom confetti strewn over the pavements and road, and with no rain to squish it down, it's been glorious!  So I wanted to create a card to remind me of the falling blossom.

I started by stamping the branch from Calm Over Chaos a couple of times using Memento Toffee Crunch ink.

I added a touch of colour to the blossoms with Worn Lipstick Distress Ink

In the bottom right-hand corner I stencilled a little square using the Windows stencil and Worn Lipstick.

Over the top of that I stamped the Chinese writing.  Fun thing to do - if you have a translate app on your phone, select camera, Chinese Mandarin Simplified to English, and hold it over the writing, and you'll get the translation. 

I added pink stamens to the centres of most of the blooms with a pink fineliner.

Then I blended Tumbled Glass and Broken China around the edges of the panel before mounting it onto my base card.

And there you have it, a pretty Just Because card.

All Visible Image products are available from the store here.  Happy stamping!
