Hey everyone, it's Miriam with a Paper Cut Flowers card today.
When Danielle created this set, she was inspired by the Polish paper cutting art of wycinanki. The set definitely recreates that, but I think it also evokes some of the gorgeous floral images and patterns you see in fabric. I wanted to create the bohemian feel of some really bold flowers in my card today.
I first stamped the large outline image with Antique Linen Distress Ink in each of the corners of a panel of watercolor cardstock. Then I used Kuretake Gansai watercolors to paint them. This is not a quick process, but I was able to get the whole card done and photographed during nap time, so not the most labor intensive card I've ever made either.
I wanted to create a full frame around the edges of my panel, so I went back with the smaller solid half flower image, and stamped just a portion of that along the edge between the larger flowers. I used gold Delicata, and then followed that up with gold embossing powder.

Since the center of the painted flowers was a little more coppery in tone, I reheated the embossed elements and sprinkled some copper embossing powder on as well to give those a two tone look. The sentiment was stamped in Delicata and embossed with copper.
A gold cardstock mat finished this off.
Thanks very much for stopping by today!
