Cherry Blossom – Parisian Blossom Card

I have ultra simple card to share with you today. The inspiration for this card came from the all the Cherry Blossom that has been out in the last few weeks here in Lincoln. It has been everywhere!! I loved seeing it on my weekly trips to the supermarket. It was the highlight of the trip out.

The base colour here is Bermuda Bay, one of my all time favourites. Pool Party is the colour in the Parisian Blooms Designer Series Paper (DSP) and I think it goes perfectly with the Bermuda Bay. This DSP has champagne foiling which is so pretty.

I’ve tried to use up my scraps and retiring products so I can make the best use of them before they go. I don’t want them to just sit in my stash and not to see the light of day again. The Bermuda Bay ribbon is one of these items alongside the DSP.

Perennial Birthday is the stamp set here and it is retiring!! I thought it would but I was hoping it wouldn’t. I love it for this bold Happy Birthday sentiment. If there are any sets retiring that you love and don’t have then get them now before they go forever.

The Eiffel Tower is one of those icon structures that is recognised the world over. To me, it is the symbol of Paris and of love. I’ve used the shimmery laser-cut speciality designer series paper as a layer over the Parisian Blooms paper.

So have you been to France? We started to learn French very early in school. I think I was about 7 years old or even younger. The junior school I went to had a sister school in France, about two hours inland from Bordeau. From the age of 9, we visited as a class for 10 days each year for the last 3 years of school. Living in London I loved the freedom, beauty and silence of the French countryside. I would love to live in France or an extended period of time so that I was totally fluent in French.
