I started by using a masked off square and lightly inked using Twisted Citron blending outwards, then took another stencil and lightly brushed shades of pink and green round the square.
Once dry I sponged (very carefully!) a deep pink over the flowers and a light brown for the branches.
Finished with a few Gold Pearl drops for the flower centres.
It has a wonderful shine in real life and although it doesn't show very well in the photo, the structure gel has given a good dimension.
The sentiment is from Stampin Up.
There are some gorgeous makes from my buddies on the DT over at the challenge blog and our guest designers Jules and Darnell. I am looking forward to seeing your creations in our gallery too!

Viv, I've been following you around commenting today, so I thought I'd better stop by to see what you've created - so happy you're back.
I adore Cherry Blossoms - your 'sponged' color is so pretty and you have the touch of a surgeon!
Gorgeous stencil and beautiful colors there, and words to live by...

Wonderful use of masking on this one and very clever colouring too. I can see the amazing shine. all in all a very special card xx
LOVE cherry blossoms ... especially on cards. :) This branch is gorgeous Viv! Love the bright pink with the paste on top. I can see the dimension from your photo. Lovely background stenciling to finish your design. xx
Such pretty cherry blossoms, Viv! I love how you've masked the square and used the stenciling around the square!
Fabulous texture and dimension and the prettiest card Viv x.
Hi Viv...isn't it great to be back? I have so missed being inspired by our awesome CAS Mix Up DT, GDs and our friends in our gallery! I LOVE your pretty dainty stenciled cherry blossoms with the added heavy structure gel. I thought your photo showed up beautifully the raised texture from your gel. Loved the sweet stenciled background and perfect sentiment too. TFS your beauty, my friend and your detailed description. Love and Hugs...Nancy
Beautiful Viv, love the soft colours of your stenciled background and that gorgeous cherry blossom stencil with the paste ♥
Such a beautiful card Viv, the blossom looks so delicate and I love the background you've made for it too.

Love the cherry blossom branch, beautiful texture and shine.
The stencil detail around the edge finishes off the card perfectly xx
Well done with the stenciling Viv, it looks a little tricky but the effect was worth it! :)
A beautiful card and gorgeous colours and composition, love this ♥
A unique design, unlike something I’ve seen before, it’s really gorgeous and freshly summery.
that is so pretty.x
Lovely to see CAS Mix Up back Viv and haven't you wowed us with this beauty! Your design really has captured that softness of petals flying in the breeze like confetti and the blossom looks so delicate.
Have just caught up with your moving in stories and it sounds like the garden is coming on a treat! Sorry I haven't been around much but really busy at work :/ Vicky x
WOW! Amazing creation. The cherry blossoms are amazing. I'm amazed that you were able to add color to the gel - so talented. Thanks for joining us at Addicted to Stamps and More!

Gorgeous background for your very pretty blossoms.
This is so so pretty Viv and I love the super stencilling as a border around the flowers and just fading it out looks great, and then the delightful green coordinating background behind the flowers stencilled with the clear paste and with sponged colour over the top when dry gives a wonderful finish..a lovely sentiment too. x
Very pretty, and your gel is just wonderful
such lovely soft colors with the pretty stenciling and beautiful blooms!
Love the almost opaque flowers and stems from using the clear gel with all the soft blending. Awesome design Viv!
It's great to see that the challenge is back on again Viv. Your card is beautiful and the flowers are really pretty x
This is just beautiful. I love the shine on the blossoms and the stenciling along the sids.
