My adventures in paper arts and crafts began in 2008. I generally create trees and other nature scenes along with dimensional, textured flowers but will let my inspiration guide the projects I work on so we'll see what else the future holds. I am enjoying the journey and love the progression of my work as time goes on and hope you do to. Happy creating everyone!

Spring Blossom Branch Pair - 2, 6" x 8"
I have now switched to canvas boards. This is my first attempt at a pair, branches, etc.
The background is two layers of tissue - first turqoise, then white to tone it down. Tissue goes fairly clear once put on glue, and I like the textural look I get from the paper creasing in areas. The branches are cut from standard brown cardstock and painted with acrylic paint accents. The leaves are punched from an 100 gsm indian batik. The blossoms are also an indian batik with 3 small white beads as the center of each. UV acrylic gloss to coat.
