I have been a bit quiet of late. I have been taking a university course on top of working and it is eating any of the few extra minutes that I had previously to craft. Sometimes when I go for chunks not creating, I just get an overwhelming urge to just pause on everything else and just do it. Last night was one of those nights where I was sinking in other work items and just had to stop and do something different. I do have some crafty things to share and will catch up on that in future posts but today I am sharing an unexpected card that I made as a result of my break time last night.
When I saw the Watercolour for Card Makers Online Class advertised a while back, I was interested but knew it would not fit with my other course. Then I saw something in regards to it again yesterday and decided what the heck, the classes are available for me to look at in the future so why not. I signed up on Day 9 of 10. LOL! Watched that day's first video on Simple Freehand Painting using a splatter painting technique and just went for it.
My card is a slightly different take on the tree technique as shown in the video for I went for a spring cherry/apple blossom look. I think it is not bad for a first try especially because I have not had the benefit of having taken the other days' classes. LOL! Nothing like jumpin' in feet first!
I paired my tree with a Winnie & Walter sentiment stamp. I shortened the tail end of the font script to make it fit my card space by using a post-it.
Looking forward to going through the other lessons with a school break coming up and sharing my learning creations in the future.
TTFN,

Gorgeous card Cassandra! Love the beautiful tree!
Great color combination - I'm enjoying the heck out of this class and I see you are too! Keep up the great work.
this tree is so lovely. we live near Washington dc, I missed the cherry blossoms this year and this card made me feel like I had been there. when the wind blows at all the petals fly around in the air like you did in your card. and they lie on the ground also. you really captured the look. thanks so much for sharing this card with us.
Beautiful tree! Love it.
Very pretty - wonderful!

I really love your tree!
