My friend,
Ros, used a fan brush & acrylic paint to add leaves to a tree stamp. She inspired me to see what I could do with my
Impression Obsession Solid Tree. There are already some trees in bloom around here, so it won't be long until the Cherry trees are covered with pink. I stamped the tree in Brilliance Pearlescent Chocolate on cream cardstock. Then I made the blossoms using VersaMagic Pixie Dust ink with a Fantastix Bullet Point tool.
It looks really neat in person--not washed out like the photo. I use a Fantastix Brush Tip tool with VersaMagic Key Lime ink for a bit of grass.
The IO sentiment is retired, but they have a lot of other
great friendship sentiments. I finished off with brown Zig splatters & distressed the edges. I'm entering
Impression Obsession: Best Friends &
Fusion using just the photo.
I hope everyone is paying attention to the recommendations by Medical Experts (not politicians) to stay well during this virus outbreak. I truly treasure your friendship! Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
Think bloggers playing up and just getting little green boxes for photos 😟B x
ReplyDeleteSorry you didn't understand Greta, me in a rush. I'm just getting a blank box for your photos and the little Green error box in the corners. Getting the same on imac and W10.

I took them out & put them back. Hopefully they'll show up. I see them, so don't know what else to do. Thanks for stopping by, Brenda!
DeleteI'm seeing your main card, but not the second photo. In any case your tree is lovely. Stay safe my friend.
ReplyDeleteYour spring tree is a lovely take on the Fusion Card challenge! Thanks so much for playing along with us!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty card and so Spring like and the tool has produced a beautiful effect Greta x. Stay safe and well x
ReplyDeleteOh what a lovely tree you've created Greta! This is a wonderful friendship card. We planted some blooming cherry trees about a year and a half ago. They had the prettiest double pink blossoms last year. Can't wait to see them again this year!
ReplyDeleteYou be safe too <3
I love your wonderful tree design and I see both boxes. It might have been a glitch in the whole cyber space network that caused the blanks.
ReplyDeleteyour cherry blossom tree is so soft a delicate looking - don't know what that tool is that you used but you did a lovely job with it.
ReplyDeleteYour tree is so pretty, Greta! That technique is so fun!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty is this Greta. The soft pink does look like cherry blossom.
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty and I'll be glad when the trees are in bloom. The cherry trees are so beautiful when they bloom, it just doesn't last long but there is nothing like fresh cherries. Your technique worked out great.
ReplyDeleteSo glad I inspired you... Love the blossoms on your tree... They are coming out here and it is starting to take colour outside. Have a beautiful day my friend!
ReplyDeleteOh, such a pretty tree! We have a cherry tree that blooms in the spring and I can hardly wait 'til it reveals the pretty pink flowers! Your card is so lovely! Stay safe and well, hugs!!
ReplyDeleteA real promise of Spring in your card Greta, love the "blossom", so very pretty. I have a mini cherry blossom out, it is pretty.

Great technique you used to create this beautiful tree, Greta!! Hope you and your family continue to stay well.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card and an interesting technique, which I'm going to try. Keep well in this world of chaos. We have two Sons travelling at the moment, one in Europe and one in Nepal. They are due home this week, hopefully virus free.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great technique for your tree, Greta! I love your CAS design with your soft pink blooms...such a beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteI hope you and your family are staying well, especially since your state has been hit so hard...sending hugs and happy thoughts to you ~ Barb xx
