Still working on my mojo, and the newest digi from Power Poppy was the perfect one to get me coloring - easy coloring too. I used two cherry blossom branches and arranged them on my card inside a square and added one of the sweet sentiments that I will definitely use a lot. Who doesn't love to receive a "happy hello" card from a friend? I colored it very simply (and quickly) inspired by a photo I found on the internet, and then I tried my hand at "pointillism" around the branch for my shading. It's my first attempt, and I will definitely try it again. Then I trimmed my image and adhered it to a scalloped square die, and I adhered that to a 4½" square card base. It's simple and easy to mail, and I have already finished coloring another one to build up my stash.
Thanks so much for taking a closer look at my easy CAS card! I hope to keep on coloring. Have a beautiful week...and spring will eventually come and warm us all up! Hugs!

Absolutely gorgeous Cheryl! Such a lovely fresh breath of spring with the pretty colour choices and perfect placement of the branches. Your colouring looks lovely and the pointillist fade-out of aqua background is beautiful - great job!

Oh what gorgeous cherry blossoms, Cheryl! Your coloring of these lovely flowers is awesome, and I noticed right away the pointillism shading. I've tried that before and like the outcome. It looks wonderful on your card. Cheryl, I am so happy to see you coloring again!!!! Love and hugs, special sis!

Oh, spring has sprung!!!! Tell me it is so. Your flower is so beautiful and I love pointillism but can't remember to use that technique. I need to make myself a note. Gorgeous card, Cheryl, and it lifts my spirits. My daffodils have come up out of the ground and will bloom sometime this month. What a wonderful welcome.
