Here in Ohio the red bud trees are in full glory right now. There are dozens of them along the main street of the little town we live near, and they inspired me to make a new spring tree card. The actual red bud blooms are somewhere between pink and lavendar and I'm not sure I quite achieved that -- this is more of a lilac tree!
I turned my white flower into a lavendar bloom using chalk ink and a big stipple brush. Applying the ink directly to the flower just didn't work for me at all -- way too dark and uneven.
I used the same layout as my earlier card. All of my paper storage is 8 1/2 x 11, so everytime I buy 12x12 paper I end up with a 1 inch scrap which means SC220 is just the sketch for me!
