I needed a card for a dear friend. She is a poetry lover, so the text is taken from a poem.
"The wind threw the petals into air
like snow falling from low to high"
First I painted the background in acrylics. I started with pure turquoise and mixed it with more and more white towards the top to give it an ombre look. When it was dry I glued Tim Holtz tissue on it. Next came black gesso through a flourish stencil. Then I stamped my beloved cherry bough stamp (Paper Source) both onto the card and white copy paper so I could color in the blossoms and cut them out.
