Inkspirational #76

My card for the Inkspirational challenge is one I made quite a while ago when I was playing around with some NBUS Penny Black stamps.  I made the panel and didn't quite know what to do with it until I saw their photo.



What do you think?  While this lovely lady may be standing in front of cherry blossoms, I think my snow covered branches give the same effect.  If I remember correctly, I stamped the image in Mememto Tuxedo Black and then stamped again offset in VersaMark and white embossed.  Then I watercolored the sky with DI.  It took a while to come up with a sentiment but decided on this one from PTI.  I watercolored a scrap to match the sky and stamped on it with the same black ink.

Thanks for stopping by.
