Today I have a decorative seed packet for you which makes a perfect way to enclose and give a gift card or you can fill it with anything you heart desires. This one was designed with an upcoming seed packet swap in mind.
After cutting out my Seed Packet I used Gel Medium with a stencil to create some texture. Once this was dry I sponged color over the packet using three colors of Radiant Neon Inks. The colors brought out the stenciled design fabulously.
I then decorated further with some torn music score paper, resin flowers, and stamped phrases all of which were also colored with the Radiant Neon Inks to coordinate with my packet before finishing with some collage butterflies and doodling with a black pen.
Supplies Used:
Seed Packet (Template downloaded off the internet and cut from Watercolor Paper)
Altered Pages Supplies, You Matter Art Stamp, TCW Swirly Garden Stencil, Gel Medium, Gesso, Beautiful Butterflies Collage Sheet, Bazzill Antique Papers Pack, Resin Flowers, Niji Waterbrush, Black Micron Pen,
IMAGINE Crafts/Tsukineko Radiant Neon Inks Electric Yellow, Electric Green, Electric Pink, Jet Black Staz On Midi, and Ink Blushers.
