Watercolour Trees

Hello there!Welcome to the start of another CAS Watercolour Challenge. This month's host is Loll from Stamping with Loll and she has chosen a wonderful theme.


It's Spring over here in Australia, so I thought I'd get in the mood by featuring a Blossom Tree!

I stamped the branch from the Altenew's Vintage Flowers and then using Zig Markers and a waterbrush I made the branch much thicker and added a few extra bits. Then I stamped some leaves and added some freehand, once again using the Zigs and waterbrush. The flowers were stamped with Memento inks and then detail added with Zigs and water.  To finish, I die cut the panel, matting it on a Kraft card base, stamped the sentiment in gold ink and added a few gold sequins. 



We are so happy to have Ros from Mikey's Mom as our Guest Designer this month. Please check out the challenge blog to see her card and get inspiration from the rest of the Design Team.

    Beautiful cherry blossom branch, Jenny. I love your freehand touches of widening the branch and adding extra touches to the leaves and branch and your pretty pink blossoms. You made this pretty branch your own:-) TFS, my friend. Hugs...

    Gorgeous flowering branch Jenny! Amazing watercolouring of the branch, leaves and flowers with adding perfect shading to really it to life. Die-cutting the flower and popping them up adds extra dimension. Beautiful card! xx

    I'm really behind in my commenting - sorry! I love your wonderful pink blossoms - great shading in them and in the leaves and branch. So strange to think of you having pink blossoms while we are having our leaves turn red and gold!
