I used stiff kraft paper as the base, which immediately gives the piece a warmer, slightly aged feel. I chose a square format, and for the background, I used papers from the small Butterfly Effect set by Finnabair and 7 Dots Studio. They have great colors and subtle details that don't overwhelm the rest. To create the composition, I added ready-made cut-out elements, stickers, and small HDF embellishments. I broke up the whole composition with pieces of old lace and fabric. They create a "soft" contrast to the paper and add a slightly nostalgic touch to the piece. Finally I added texture. I used Art Stone combined with a soft matte gel. Once everything was thoroughly dry, I whitened my cards with diluted white gesso. This step nicely brings all the elements together, and the colors soften slightly. 🔗 Supplies: 7 Dots Studio: Butterfly Effect Word Stickers https://mixedmediaplace.com/7-dots-st... 7 Dots Studio: Butterfly Effect 6x6 pad https://mixedmediaplace.com/7-dots-st... 7 Dots Studio: Fortune-teller Element Stickers https://mixedmediaplace.com/7-dots-st...
