Floral Fantasy - Mixed Media Layouts

Hola crafters,

I have a very exciting new project for you all today. This is my first time try on with prima papers and I must tell you that I am in absolute love with them. The beautiful designs and the paper quality is just amazing. I worked with their Rose Quartz paper pack. 

Here's presenting a 3 ring layout! Yes I altered 3 embroidery hoops to create this beautiful floral layout. 



You can add 2 pictures in this layout. I have used tons of flowers in this layout. This has been made entirely with paper layering. I haven't used any mediums to add texture to the layouts. 


I used floral designed pattern papers in combination with abstract designs to create a balance. 

Here are the steps to create this beauty:

  1. Apply white gesso on all the three hoops you want to use. I used 10", 8" & 4" hoops here.
  2. Cut pattern paper as per the sizes of the hoops and adhere at the back of the hoops. 
  3. I used 3D matte gel along with the hot glue gun to adhere the hoops together. To bring them to the same height I stacked small chipboard pieces together under the hoops. 
  4. Next I created the layouts inside the two big hoops by stacking scrap pieces of paper some chipboards and doily die cuts. 
  5. To decorate and embellish the hoops i used tons of flowers and green foliage along with a floral chipboards from Mudra and a cute little cupid i made with air dry clay using a mould. 
  6. Finally I topped the hoops with a diamond studded chain to add a little bling and tied a couple of laces on the top of the biggest hoop. 
  7. For the smallest hoop i just fussy cut a sentiment from a notecard I had in my stash and adhered in the centre. 
Let's see the project in close up!
