Colour INKspiration #88 Cherry Blossoms

Hello and Welcome to an another wonderful image and colour combination from Colour INKspiration.

Our challenge is inspired by some amazing images from Pinterest.  

This time the colours are Pretty Peacock, Just Jade, Crushed Curry and Crumb Cake.  

I have been totally inspired by the stunning image of the Cherry Blossoms in the background which are so very Van Gogh who's art is incredible, and my absolute favourite!!  

I stamped onto Fluid 100 watercolour paper using the Saddle Brown Stazon Ink, and then used my waterpainter and these colour challenge inks to play and paint!!  The stamp set is the lovely Forever Blossoms.  When I finished painting and adding colour to my image, I then didn't want to cover up any of it, so I've made this card into an easel card.  

Inside the card is some simpler watercolouring and the main greeting punched using the Lovely Labels pick a punch.

After the watercolouring was all dry, I went over some of the images again with the coordinating markers to add highlights and more detail.
