A Floral Mixed Media Card with JOFY

 

Hello friends! Ericka from Strangely Creative here, and today I’m sharing a mixed media card built from layered gel press prints, a bold floral, and just the right touch of gold.

This is one of those projects where the background does most of the work… and everything else builds from there.

I started with a gel press print using a mix of greens, blues, and a hint of gold.

Gel printing is one of my favorite ways to create because every print is different. You get organic textures, unexpected color blends, and a background that already feels layered before you even start.

For the focal point, I stamped the flower from the JOFY 147 by PaperArtsy onto a separate gel print I created using Mattints in The Pink and Bellflower.

This gives you:

• A bold focal image
• Built-in color variation
• A perfect contrast against the cooler background

After stamping, I cut out the flower and layered it onto the card for dimension. 

 

To bring everything together, I added:

• A touch of WOW! Embossing Powder for subtle shimmer
• A strip of Washi Tape #1 for a graphic layer
• Highlights with a white and gold paint pen to add contrast and detail

These small additions help guide the eye and give the card that finished, cohesive look.

 

I completed the card with a sentiment from the Lavinia Sentiment Stickers. Simple. Clean. And it lets the layered background and bold flower stay the focus.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful week!
