Floral Joy with Joy Clair Designs

Hello everyone!  Today I'm sharing this beautiful digistamp set called Floral Joy from Joy Clair Designs.  I was really taken with the floral clusters in this set and I wanted them to the the focus of my card!  Let me show you how I did it!  I printed out the images in my computer onto a piece of 90lb watercolor paper.  This seems to go through my printer well and because it's 90lb it also fussy cuts easily.

I die cut the patterned bird out of regular white card stock and decided to use the dotted piece of card stock as a basis for the flowers and bird.  I wanted to paint the flowers with a coral shade and I had recently purchased a pan of paint from ZahraAmmarArt on Etsy.  Not only was it coral, but it was a shimmer paint as well!  I started painting the flowers and I was mindful of the black outline of the print-out.  I eventually had to darken up my lines.  This paint is quite saturated with color!

I went over the flowers several times to make sure I had nice coverage.  The full shimmer takes effect when the paint dries.  I used the gold for the centers of the flowers.  

I had a handful of dot cards and I used a green from one of them for the leaves. 

For the berries I used a teal that matched the polka dot paper I was using.  After everything was dry I fussy cut the images.  I took a panel of white card stock and used a textured embossing folder and I die cut my polka dot panel and my sentiment.

I adhered my textured panel to a white A2 size top folding white card base.  Next I adhered flat my die cut panel with liquid adhesive.  I adhered the sentiment and the bird flat.  I popped up the floral clusters on foam tape.  For embellishments I added a few bits of confetti.

This card came together so nice and easy!  And it's very springy!  I hope I've given you some inspiration to make something beautiful today!  

Thank you so much for stopping by!
