ooo-It’s a blog hop!
When I was first approached about this exciting venture-I was inspired by the gorgeous Japanese washi paper from Hai Supply and I started sketching cherry blossoms and those sketches soon turned into an anncorbierescottdesigns art printable. Cherry blossoms obvious delicate beauty is so paramount-but lying just beneath that is this quiet strength that is so inspiring. In my mind the Pear Blossom press lights showcase that strength.
I knew I couldn’t wait to bring all of this fabulousness together.

*I begin the process by adding a watery wash of color of red to the individual cherry blossom.
*next I take a paper towel and press it into the painted flower-the paper towel’s texture has created a level of dimension.
*I now begin the process of slowly building depth with my watercolors, adding small bits of color to the shaded areas-let it dry, then with a damp round brush pounce the edge to soften and blend the darker added color.
*with scissors fussy cut the cherry blossom and the Hello, Friend sentiment and set aside
*cut a piece of washi paper 3 3/4 x 5 1/4 and set aside
*die cut a double stitched rectangle from Lawn Fawn
*on card base, apply the die cut cardstock piece, and the washi paper piece on top of that.
*add the battery to the EZ-light pack-then push the purple button to make sure the yellow dots on the end of the wires light up.
*pick up the cherry blossom and with a exacto knife make 3 very small random slits-just big enough for the yellow end of the wires to poke through. Push the lights through and tape them in place with scotch tape.
*add a piece of red line tape to the back side of the EZ light pack and adhere it on the underside of the leaf.
*scotch tape the wires down, making sure to curl them into a flat circle-and not bending them. Next add a double layer of foam tape around the circumference of the backside of the cherry blossom-but not on top of the EZ-Light. Adhere to the lower right corner of the card front.
*with wet glue adhere yellow Hai Supply droplets on top of the yellow lights and then randomly on the front of the card.
*add a Hai Supply clay lady bug on the leaf, right above the button.
TAA-DAAA!!!!
