Love in Layers Card: A Crafty Comeback!

Hey, crafty friends! I’m back in the game after a long break, and I couldn’t be more excited! With my wedding anniversary right around the corner, I thought, what better way to celebrate than with a handmade card? So, let’s jump in and have some fun with this project using those fabulous shimmering acrylic paints from Perfect Paints!

So in love with you handmade card using shimmering acrylic paints

First things first, I grabbed a 5.75x5.75” piece of white cardstock and set the stage for some lacy goodness. Using a stencil and dove’s wing polishing plaster, I created a delicate background. I let that dry.

Next, I rounded up some gorgeous ephemera from the Rouge collection by 49&Market, along with a bouquet of floral elements. Since my design language is all about floral layering, I went for a fresh spring green palette.

Adding Dove's Wing polishing plaster to our background

I tried out a stippling technique with my stencil brush, adding hints of coral SMA to spring green SMA base creating a lovely lotus-in-a-pond vibe. Just a touch of coral SMA—because we want elegance, not a color explosion!

Adding Shimmering Acrylics to our card

Then came the best part: adding the sweet sentiment “So in love with you” to celebrate our special day. I couldn’t resist throwing on some splatters with those vibrant acrylics—it’s like confetti for the card! To give it some sturdiness, I backed it all up with rustic cardstock.
