Mixed Media Love Card for Donna Salazar

I have a Donna Salazar project to share with you today. I've created a mixed media card for the wedding shower of a sweet young couple. The bride-to-be is so lovely and plans to frame it as a decor piece for the new home they will be sharing. I've featured lots of Donna's amazing products, but particularly her Spellbinders dies for the butterfly and handcrafted flowers.

"Love Cherish"

Tips and Techniques
I create one of my Crushed Voile Peonies, but before assembling the layers dyed them by spritzing Caramel Latte Smooch Spritz onto my craft mat along with several sprays of water. I then pulled the petal layers through the mist to color. Once dry, I assembled as in my tutorial which can be found HERE.

These Want2Scrap chipboard flourishes were covered with pearl medium
and sprinkled with microbeads and mini marbles. 

The smaller flowers are created from Donna's Mix'd Media Stax 2 mulberry paper cut with Donna's Spellbinders Bitty Blossoms Dies. They were brushed with Smooch Spritz, then when dry with Clearsnap Glue Gloss and sprinkled with Twinkle Dust Glitter (formerly Fairy Dust Glitter).

The butterfly is fussy cut, and I used Mix'd Media Inx to stamp this
sweet sentiment and crackle around the edges. 

I layered the paper strip, lace and doily using soft gel medium, then brushed
Donna's Caramel Latte Smooch Spritz across the Dictionary paper.

I applied more Glue Gloss across the bottom corner and sprinkled with Twinkle Dust Glitter.

A tutorial for the Twinkling Butterfly can be found HERE.
