Easter Fun

The Easter Fun Toppers are a new addition to Flower Soft's decoupage line. Love the cute artwork on these!! Each sheet (8 in the package) comes with all the layers that are needed to create a dimensional focal piece for cards or other projects. In the photo below you can see the dimension that I added by embossing and shaping each piece with a stylus. The eggs on the topiary are 'popped' up with foam tape. I used Polar White and Pine Ultrafine in the pot, more Polar White on the bunny's tail, and Citrus Crush on her flower wreath. A little clear glaze ink brightens up her eyes, too.

My decoupage piece is mounted on a Spellbinders die cut (Nestabilities Blossoms 1), and I used a sentiment from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps on the tag.

Happy Spring!

Tutorial: Layering Flower Soft

Below are some photos of the process of creating this card, which uses several colors of Flower Soft on the focal panel... hopefully it will give you some help and ideas for mixing and layering Flower Soft on your projects! This image is from the Country Village Download.

Those are the steps I used!

Some tips:

--If you only have one shade of green, that would work just as well. Additional shades add to the depth of the scene, but if you have lighter colors, you can actually shade the Flower Soft **after the glue is dry** using alcohol markers.

--In the last step, I added Sand Flower Soft to the whole scene. This isn't really necessary... but I think it adds a bit of highlight and also gives a more vintage look. If you only have bright colors to work with, mixing them with Sand will give the area a lighter appearance.
