Joanna Sheen samples - Pressed flowers 7

Hiya Everyone,

I've had a really crafty day today as Tayla went to her Nannas so I had the whole day to myself. I was waiting in for some papers from Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine so I thought I'd do a few Crafters Companion blog challenge cards in advance as I'm moving shortly so it made sense to get organised. Anyhoo, the papers arrived at 5.15 so I've not had chance to use them yet but I did manage to do June, July and Augusts CC challenge cards so it's not all bad. I've asked for a short break from the Joanna Sheen DT as I'll be packing my craft room up shortly (sob) and I'm not exactly sure when I'll be back up and running. The plan is to decorate my craft room at the new house whilst it's empty and then move everything over so it should be relatively straight forward (fingers crossed). I love doing the DT cards for Joanna Sheen as you never know what you are going to get sent and it's such fab quality. The last 8 I made went yesterday ready for preview shows this weekend so I'll have those to share with you next week. I'm gutted about taking a break as I might miss out on some fab house mouse goodies - my favourites! :o(

This card is another one of the pressed flower samples that I did a few weeks ago. It was made using the rose set and is a lot plainer than most of my other cards just for a bit of a change. I wanted it to look like a cherry blossom branch.
The branch is cut from brown card using my cricut. I stamped out a few flowers and coloured them in with my promarkers. I layered them up for a bit of height and attached a MS leaf punch to each one. I then added a few dots to the centres with brown flock. Something was missing so I attached a MS butterfly, a couple of diamantes and some crystal stickles glitterglue around the edges of both the image and the sentiment for a little added sparkle. The font I used for my printed sentiment is Saginaw.
