Cherry Blossom Merci--#tgifc256

It's inspiration challenge week over at TGIF Challenges and this week's inspiration is products suites in the Spring mini catalog.  My inspiration comes from the Parisian Blossoms suite and the Cherry Blossoms dies (#151456).  

I started my card with a piece of vellum card stock embossed with the Parisian Flourish 3D embossing folder (#151474).  This was layered over a patterned paper from the Parisian Blossoms specialty designer series paper pack (#151192) and then over a Petal Pink card base.

The blossoms were die cut out of Whisper White card stock and colored lightly with Petal Pink light and dark Stampin' Blends (#147272).  The smaller flowers were layered into the larger ones and then each was centered with a Champagne Rhinestone (#151193).  The flowers were arranged over a branch die cut out of Basic Gray card stock.

The greeting is from the Parisian Dies.  Three were die cut and layered together.  The three dots for over the "i" were lost in my hands, so I colored a Basic Pearl with the Light Basic Black Stampin' Blends for my dot.

You'll find lots of wonderful projects inspired by the Spring mini over at the TGIF Challenges blog here.

Hope you are all staying safe and creating a bunch of wonderful projects.
