Went live for over on Facebook earlier and this is the resulting card! I talked about learning more mixed media techniques from other makers and that I'm having fun trying something new! What's something new you've tried lately?

A set of six masculine cards is my bonus post for Paper Rose this month, and I've used an Easter paper collection for them. I stumbled across the Carrot Patch Patterns paper pack and I just loved the textures so into my cart they went 😄 I've teamed them up with one of my favourite dies, the Stitched Eucalyptus Branch. make sure you come check out the details on my blog: https://thealternativecardmaker.wordpress.com/2026/05/26/using-papers-out-of-season-the-carrot-patch-paper-rose-studio/

Dropped some new cards up at last week, do need to make some more of the bright Aussie ones seen on the top row as they're starting to run low which I'll be getting to this week 😊
