Cherry Blossoms

I took this picture with my old phone while being driven through the airport terminal traffic the last time I flew up to DC.  It’s been a VERY long time since I’d seen the cherry blossoms up there and they were EVERYWHERE!  I really wanted to get some close-ups of the blooms but because of everything that happened.  So I’m really glad this pic turned out.

I painted 3 of the corners with black crackle paint then painted it with pink after it dried.  I created the title doily by using the Kreaxions Circle Cutter, Kreaxions Stencil B, and Kreaxions Punch #910 with Postioning Parts 6.8 cm.   I created the cherries by using Precious Wedding Rings die and cutting off the “diamond” part then putting the cut-away pieces back into the “cherries”.  The branches were made with Verona Bouquet die and I cut off the flowers.  I layered them all together and used my pen to outline so they’d show up better.  A little Stickles around the edges and a green rhinestone finish off the cherries.  The border was created with Kreaxions Punch #910 with Template A and the photo corners and mat corners were created with Templates B and C.  I had some leftover pieces from a previous project so I used them at the top right and bottom of my photo.  I painted and Stickled some plain white flowers and outlined everything with a pen to show it all off and to do my journaling.  Some rhinestones and pearls finish off the page..
Here are the Kreaxions products I used for this page -
