I am joining in again this month at CAS Watercolour where the challenge is 'Something Blue'.I LOVE 💖 this cherry blossom stamp from Technique Tuesday.
I rank it amongst my all time faves.
It is one of those stamps that whatever colour you use it looks 'right'!
Although I confess to never having stamped it in BLUE before......!
Used Versafine Majestic Blue for the outline and coloured it with my (new 😊) watercolours before fussy cutting. (I do have the co-ordinating die but I didn't want the white edge round the outline of the stamp.)
Once dry I added a few teeny spots of Nuvo Crystal.
I inked the stamp again with Chipped Sapphire DI and spritzed with water then did a bit of random stamping onto a scrap of watercolour card. I tried to blend the ink a little across the background - (note to self - more practice needed at this!)
The sentiment is also from Technique Tuesday.

Can't think of a better way to pass the time Viv and create super inkiness (but blue?).

This is absolutely GORGEOUS Viv! I love the contrast between the soft blue background and the more vivid blossoms that you fussy cut...lovely, lovely card! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour! :0)
Oh. one of my favorite color combos of blue and white. Gorgeous card and lovely flowers. [Bunny]`
Beautiful Viv. I love how you've layered the flowers and yet still kept it CAS x
beautiful layout and stamping the background is perfect for the way the you displayed the fussy cut flowers
I agree with you that this is indeed a lovely stamp and I guess quite versatile. The card looks great in tis shade of blue.
Oh Viv, that's just beautiful.....love the CAS layout & the fresh colour combo xx
Why not blue indeed. This looks very elegant. The weather is very up and down across the country at the moment. Hugs Mrs A.
Viv you've captured these blooms beautifully in blue! LOve the teeny bits of Nuvo drops for their stamen! Now wouldn't it be cool if they turned into blue cherries? lol

The TT Cherry Blossom looks stunning watercoloured in blue and love the background with the all over stamping and some soft colour too, and beautifully designed with the flowers placed to one side of the frame. x
It's like you Viv - very classy and elegant! I love this card. Why do you always, but always. come up trumps?!
Hugs

A stunning card, I agree it looks best fussy cut rather than having a white edge. I love the card. Thanks for joining us at MMM. Caz. DT.
Beautiful Viv!...what more is there to say! xx
I am so loving the blue flowers and why can't they be blue? x The background looks fabulous Viv and because it's slightly different from the front flowers it really does look wonderful x. Great composition and such a beautiful card x
Very stylish! Great idea to use this stamp both for the background panel and for the main image. Looks beautiful in blue.
Love the image and the blue looks really great, super design of the card too. I have started using blue a little bit more lately, maybe we relate blue to men.

Beautiful card, Viv, so fresh looking in blue and white. xx
I love the watery background, Viv! It gives a really dreamy garden look to your beautiful blue cut flowers! Love the addition of the Nuvo drops! Thanks so much for sharing this with us at CAS Watercolour!
Wonderful card! I love it! :)
Thanks a lot for joining us at Creatalicious! :)
Great job turning your cherry blossoms into blue forget-me-nots, Viv! Beautifully watercolored and I love how you have placed them on the outside edge of the frame and filled the aperture with "shadows" of more forget-me-nots! I think your wash looks wonderful! Hugs, Darnell
Gorgeous CAS card love the flowers -they look great in blue and the background looks fine to me--supposed to be middle of Summer and had 4 cold wet days not stopped all day today!!!
