Stamping Bella Oddball Cherry Blossom

Hi Peeps...

Today, for my Bellarific Friday post, I've used the fabulous Oddball Cherry Blossom - I do love her kimono and would love one just like that!  

Now there is a story with this card... I created a Copic background sky and grounding (after being encouraged by lovely Elaine)...  and I think I'd done OK, but then I chickened a bit and decided to add some little branches around her to give a bit of a frame.  I was doing so well until I attached one of the stamps back to front on my Misti...  so when I stamped I ended up with a blob of grey ink!

I had to quickly remake - by fussy cutting the girl and the cherry blossoms - before creating a new sky background with my Copics.... then stamping the branches BEFORE adding the image on 3D foam pads.  My goodness - it was like restarting the card - think that would have been easier.

I did add some gold watercolour paint to her kimono, but it's not something that shows well in a photograph.
