If you've ever seen a dogwood blossom you know they're usually pink or whitish. Since blue is my favorite color and this is my card, I figured I could make them any color I wanted! So, I present you with blue (turquoise) dogwood flowers.
This beautiful stamp is from Impression Obsession that I stamped, colored, then stamped and colored again to pop up on dimensionals. The background was sponged with Antique Linen. The card stock I used was Tempting Turquoise and Soft Suede.
Some beige sheer ribbon and bow were added and the card was completed.......UNTIL I noticed I had some type of smudge! Of course it couldn't have been in a good place - so in order to cover it up I had to place the pearls as such. Kinda wonky looking, but hey, again, it's my card so guess I can put those little guys any where I wish!
As I said, the stamp is from Impression Obsession and it's called Dogwood 3. You can find it here.
I'll enter this in the challenge at Impression Obsession (Bloom Where You Are Planted) and the challenge at Loves Rubber Stamps Challenge Blog (Anything Goes).
Thanks for stopping by.......

Hiya Lynn, this is a beautiful card. Love that blossom and the colour you've chosen. hugs Sharon
Wow Lynn, this is stunning! Love your blue dogwoods! Fabulous coloring and I love the placement of your pearls.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO beautiful, Lynn! Sensational fussy cutting on these popped up dogwoods!! What a gorgeous card!!
Dogwoods are lovely no matter the color, and your card is superb! I especially like the 3-D effect you've done with the double images. This is a lovely, lovely card!
Oh, this makes me wish they did bloom in blue, Lynn! Magnificent coloring and a bow to die for. :-D My granddaughter would be very pleased, btw. She's the one who always told me, "I can color the sky whatever color I want. It's my picture." Gotta love the freedom of being a child.
I would love to have a blue dogwood tree! These flowers are so pretty. Your pearl cover up looks great. I had to do that the other day and it really did look wonky. Maybe I need to go back and add a couple more!
Wow, Lynn, what a beautiful card!! It is really breathtaking. Your colors are gorgeous and the layout and the pearls just say elegant! Thanks for playing and good luck in the drawing too!!!
Gorgeous! Love you blue flowers!
I used this stamp last week - I thought it was a HA stamps! Ooops!
Love your added pearls too :)
This is beautiful Lynn, I love those flowers.

This Dogwood stamp is just beautiful, like your card. The coloring is great and I love the way you popped up the flowers.
Absolutely GORGEOUS, Lynn! I love how you coloured them - the shading is stunning! - and me too, I think they should bloom in blue :)
What a beautiful card. Quite often I make my dogwood flowers blue and purple. I figure if I'm coloring I'll pick the colors I like. I love that you popped your flowers up and your sponging looks lovely. I see you have learned from me (the best there is) to cover up boo boos. LOL. I think your pearls look great and no one would have known about your boo boo if you hadn't let us in on the secret. Enjoy your day.
That's right, gosh darn it, you OWN that card, girl! Personally, I happen to agree with your choices, voluntary and involuntary about the coloring and the pearls!! Well done! xxoo Darnell
I love blue flowers, so this totally works for me ! WOW, this is one gorgeous creation. The popped up flowers are perfect!
I'd be happy too if dogwood blossoms came in blue...also MY favorite color! :) These are beautiful! Love the sheer ribbon you added to this gorgeous creation!!!
I love your blue dogwood, absolutely gorgeous! Great save on the smudge, I like the diagonal!
WOW this is stunning Lynn! I love that image and it's colored beautifully!!

I happen to love BLUE dogwoods! We have pink ones in our yard (really, more white than pink, but they are supposed to be pink). I have this stamp (think mine is Hero), and I totally love it. Your pearls were great (you know I chuckled reading that bit, don't you? Sounds like me). Popping up some flowers took this one over the top, and sheer ribbon made it look so airy. Good job! It didn't look at all wonky!! Beautiful more like it. TFS & Hugs
Fabulous card, love the coloring job and all the details on your card! Thanks for playing with us at Loves Rubberstamps!
Oh Lynn - this is fabulous - love the pearls - great to see them placed 'differently' to the standard line :-). Love the sponging and the double layer of flowers.
Blessings

Awesome card. I love the blue too. Tempting Turquoise is my favourite SU colour. Good luck with the challenge.
Hi Lynn, these blue dog wood flowers are divine... and the fact that they are popped up makes them so 3D. Super colouring and if I am queen of recycling you are queen of ribbons for sure. Your collection is simply beeautiful and I LOVE them.
Love,
Monica

Oh, how I wish there was a blue dogwood...wouldn't that be lovely?! Guess I will have to settle for your gorgeous dogwoods on this beautiful card! The sheer ribbon is so pretty too!
