Chinese newsprint Cherry Blossoms

So attempting another Robin Moses Cherry Blossoms design and this one turned out really good.  I started with a grey and then used a Chinese newspaper and added the kanji using rubbing alcohol to transfer the ink onto my nails.  This really doesn't appear very well on the finished design though. Then I added the black branches and used a mixture of red and white acrylic paint and created the cherry blossom flowers.  I layered about 3 different colours of red and when I added the last light colour over the design and looked at my finished product I was pretty darn impressed with myself.  Here is the finished design, although they did look better in real life.
I forgot to add the link of the youtube video.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFn7CONSErA
