Finishing off a pouch of fussy cut flowers

Managed to actually use up one of the pouches of fussy cut dsp that I’ve had set aside as part of the patterned paper playtime sessions for this year by using the last few flowers (ok there were quite a few but they were only small) on this fun card.

I took a scrap of calypso coral and embossed it with the decorative dots folder. Then I stuck all the flowers down, some overlapping and some off the edges to create a decorative background panel.

I then decided to mount it on yellow and onto a smoky slate card base to keep it funky.

I embossed the sentiment onto a banner which I punched from a scrap of cherry cobbler. Next I found the yellow twine and the yellow gems in the stash and thought they would work together as embellishments.

I raised the panel up onto foam to give it dimension and the same with the banner sentiment.

Love how this came out. Bright and cheerful! And that’s a pouch emptied! Feels good to be working through my stash like this and making some fun projects along the way.

Having the elements already fussy cut out really helps me just go for it whereas if I was staring at a full piece of 12×12 I would never have made anything like this from the flowers on the paper.

Happy crafting!
