Card blank: 7" x 7" white matt
Dies: Apple Blossom 'Cherry Tree' (magazine freebie), Creative Expressions 'Mini Happy Birthday'
Colouring: Black Promarker
Snippets: Black, white and cerise matt card
I die cut two cherry tree dies from black card and then trimmed another piece of black card to make a square the width of the die cut. I trimmed a piece of white card, layered it onto the black square and attached it to the card front. I then used Stick and Spray glue to attach the two die cuts to the top and bottom of the card. I ran a black Promarker around the inside edge of the flowers as I wanted to ensure the white card didn't show around the edges of the inlaid flowers. I cut the blossoms from several snippets of cerise card and inlaid them. To finish I die cut 'Happy Birthday' from black card and attached it across the centre.

A beautiful card! And a great idea to add a little black behind your die cuts before insetting the cerise pieces, I'll have to remember that tip! Thanks for linking this card up at Seize the Birthday!
Cute! Thanks for sharing with us at Cardz 4 Galz.
