Do you like relaxing ‘serene’ cards? Today I have a fun mix of inspiration for you!
But first, this post is part of a Hop celebrating a new release from Altenew so you should have arrived here from JENNIFER’s incredible Blog!
Starting with a beautiful bird from the Red Crowned Cranes die set… and mine is pink (wink).
And I blended a background scene using the Abstract Mountain stencil.
This card came together so quickly and makes me feel ‘relaxed’ just looking at it lol.
Next I created a little Zen garden with the embossing folder called From Land to Sea.
and of course the flowers in my garden were the Stunning Sakuras….
I also added a heat embossed sentiment strip.
My final design is a happy card, everytime I see Pandas they are rolling around and playing.
So today I created a group of Roaming Panda’s to make someone’s day.
I added a background of Bamboo Branches and a sentiment from one of my faves, Simply the Best Stamp Set.

You know the bird-lover in me is going to do a little research to see if the Red Crowned and our Sandhill Crane are the same breed, right? No? Okay – I LOve her in pink!
Gorgeous new embossing folder, and cherry blossoms, and PANDAS – oh my! Your ’embarrassment’ [I looked that up, too!] of Pandas is so delightful, Therese!

These are serene cards Therese, the 1st and 3rd card would be great as masculine cards, changing the color combo of the 1st.
All your cards are wonderful, and have inspired me!!!
The sakuras certainly live up to their name “stunning”! Thanks for sharing!
Lovely! A very nice combination of critters and florals and landscapes! I had to check the supplies to recognize the ‘From land to sea.’ How clever to use it as a border!

As always, your cards are amazing! I especially love the second one — absolutely gorgeous!
