Hello, I'm Cari and I'm here to show you my project as part of the Sizzix/Prima blog switch!
This home decor project was so fun create! I used a Prima 12
x 12 frame and embellished it with flowers, leaves and more! I colored the wood
frame using Prima chalk edgers for added color to coordinate with the
embellishments. I cut out all of the images from patterned paper, inked the edges
of the paper cut outs and embellished with an assortment of Prima flowers. The
paper flowers were so easy to create from the Sizzix dies and I just love the
dimension that it added to my clusters. I painted the background inside
the frame with black gesso to create my own custom chalkboard. This will be
great a great addition in my home for personal reminders and messages!
Tips/techniques: Ink all of the die cut images to add depth
to the cut outs. It really does add to the dimensional aspect of the flowers
and leaves. Using patterned papers adds instant texture and mix of fun colors
to enhance your design. Adding buttons and special centers to the paper flowers
finish them off perfectly for an elegant look!
