A Touch of Handmade Love with Perfect Paints
Hello Everyone !
I’m so happy to meet you all again with a new inspiration. Creating handmade cards is something truly special for your loved ones. This card is perfect for gifting to someone who appreciates the beauty of handmade artistry, perhaps a close friend or family member who enjoys thoughtful, personalized gifts.
I started with a 7.5x7.5” piece of patterned paper. To give it a finished look, I stitched the borders. The stitching not only adds a charming, handmade touch but also enhances the durability of the card.
Using the Botanical Squares TCW stencil and Gilded Azure Polishing Plaster, I stenciled a gorgeous pattern over the card. This combination of materials and technique creates a stunning, textured background that catches the light beautifully.
Next, I turned to my favorite acrylics by Perfect Paints. Bright Gold shimmering acrylics provided a rich, luxurious base color for the flourish die cuts. To add a dynamic and artistic touch, I splattered Sangria shimmering acrylics over the flourishes. The contrast between the gold and sangria colors creates a vibrant and eye-catching effect.
With the background and flourishes ready, I began layering the elements. The focal image of the card is an adorable fox, adding a playful and charming element to the design. To complete the card, I included a sentiment that reads "You are amazing," making the card perfect for boosting someone's spirits or celebrating their achievements.
Lately, I’ve been obsessed with the blue and yellow color combination. The cool, calming tones of blue paired with the bright, cheerful yellow create a balanced and visually appealing palette. This color scheme works wonderfully in this card, adding to its overall charm and elegance.
Creating handmade cards is a fulfilling hobby that allows you to express your creativity and share your art with others. With a bit of time and the right materials, you can create beautiful, personalized cards that are sure to be cherished by their recipients. Happy crafting!
