I made this Japanese blossom greetings card a couple of
months ago for a wedding in May. I was asked to make a card that picked up on
the themes of the invitation which also featured paper cranes and blossom.
When I was first asked to make this wedding card I had
visions of myself trying to conjure tiny little origami cranes out of paper. I
abandoned that idea, and instead I layered small cut out paper parts to create the
focal point of this design.
I framed the two cranes with two branches of Japanese cherry
blossom. I used black for the branches in the style of some traditional
Japanese art and design and I think this, with the white background, makes the
other colours pop. For the blossom I combined my usual textured papers with
sparkly pink and pearl centres.
I enjoyed making this wedding card. It was an opportunity to
work with a theme in my style and try something I hadn’t done before. Custom
orders are always fun!
I hope you had a good weekend!
