Oriental Wave Aperture Card with Floral Spray

A project from our live show BRAND SHOWCASE - Join Sarah Gray from Funky Fossil - broadcast 8th April · 04/08/2022

A striking card featuring a wave die-cut as the focal point, layered with hand-coloured shibori papers in deep blues and teals. The design uses paper piecing to create depth and includes a delicate floral spray stamped around the circle, creating an elegant oriental-themed card.
