So I decided to try out one of our other Sakura set designs for this card.  I picked the sakura that perfectly coordinates with our Sakura-chan image.  These would be great to pop up in front of the Sakura-chan image as I did with the Momotaro card I shared yesterday.

Anyway, just wanted to keep this card simple by limiting the layering.   I love this sentiment set by Walter and Winnie- please check them out for some awesome sentiment sets!

I was hoping you could see in the photo but I colored up the stamens using gold smooch.

And to finish off the card, I went over it with some Spun Sugar distress ink and my blending tool.  Don't forget to check out our DT's projects!

Sakuras!

For lack of better name, our next image  is referred to as the Sakura set.  I know its a bit confusing, but you will get 4 different Sakura images in three different sizes for a total of 12 sakura images!  Plus you will get three peach images in three different sizes!  All 15 images in one set!  Yes, the set is pretty large but I wanted to offer up some variety of background images and couldn't decide which sakura was better than the next, so I gave you all the images my sister sent me.  Hopefully you will find this set useful and fun to use with all of our images!  I couldn't make a sample using all of the different images, so I thought I'd re-post the banner so you can see them up close.

In addition to the standard sakura image, my sister also drew two sakura designs with some dimension and one that is a solid image in case you want to stamp the whole image in color.

Here's one of the cards I made using the standard sakura image.  all I did was stamp random images in different sizes in light pink. Then I used my blender tool and added some Spun Sugar around the edges so it blended.  I liked the effect this gave to the background.

Then I stamped the sentiment by Hero Arts.  The card was still missing something, so I added in some mini crystals to the center of the larger sakuras.  This card should show you the size difference in the sakuras.
