Hello everyone...hope you had a great weekend!!! I was real ambitions and cleaned out a couple of closets...I found lots of things for the church garage sale and tossed a bunch, too!! Now I have room for more stuff...LOL!!! Anyway.....
This is my third week to post on the Our Craft Lounge's blog as the May Artist of the Month. I decided to play along with their Photo Inspiration challenge....isn't this a beautiful picture!! I knew right away that I wanted to use Our Craft Lounge's Asian Garden set...the cherry blossom branch reminded me of the beautiful pink blossoms on the tree in the photo.
The lanterns were all paper pieced with paper from Webster's Pages Postcards from Paris dp and the details on the lanterns, blossoms, and sky were all colored with Copics. I can't believe I didn't use a single embellishment on this design but the stamps speak for themselves...they don't need anything else to make them shine!!!
Thanks for stopping by....have a great day!!!
