I was making a card the other day for my All Occasion Stamp-a-Stack when the image I was using just seemed to say Cherry Blossoms. I decided to create a card in honor of the beautiful trees that are lining the Tidal Basin in Washington, DC. I wanted a simple but elegant card so I stamped the swirl from Baroque Motifs to use as the background. I used my Sakura clear Stardust gelly roll pen…
Good Morning! I hope everyone had a good weekend. The weather was gorgeous and I even had to cut my grass. YUCK!

I thought about this for WEEKS and finally when I was under the gun…
I have had this Easter image for several weeks and haven’t been able to use it. I did not have an acrylic block big enough for it to fit on. I had tried using a long block I had which took care of the width of the stamp but when I tried several options to address the height of the image, nothing worked.
