"Enjoy Every Moment" Mixed Media Card for Studio75

Welcome to my creative space!

I'm up on the Studio75 blog with this floral mixed media card featuring the gorgeous Cherry Blossom Paper Set. I often use the grungy papers from this collection to create masculine cards and projects, but used one of the sweet, feminine papers for this card. Don't you just adore how the pink plays against the black in this gorgeous paper collection?

Tips and Techniques

There are several layers of papers from the Cherry Blossom Set on this sweet card. I've used a background sheet from the 6x6" pack, then cut out the floral print rectangle from the 05 sheet and finally fussy cut the flowers and leaves that I layered with dimensional flowers from the store. I'm often asked what scissors work well for fussy cutting. My favorite go to scissors for this purpose are the EK Success Small Precision Scissors.

The background is stenciled with Finnabair's Rose Gold Icing paste to coordinate perfectly with the cherry blossom pink on the papers.

This close-up of the cluster shows how beautiful the fussy cut leaves look tucked in amongst the flowers. The darling sentiment button is also part of the Cherry Blossom collection. The black wood circles are added as an accent and rubbed lightly with Finnabair's Sweet Rose metallic wax.

I created a secondary cluster here in the top corner with these gorgeous fussy cut flowers and leaves.

I added prills and microbeads around the cluster with Bambino Glue.
