"Celebration" Shabby Mixed Media Card for ScrapBerry's

Welcome to my creative space today! I have a sweet project to share with you today. My darling niece is turning 16, and I created this mixed media card to celebrate her special day. I just adore the gorgeous colors and designs in ScrapBerry's Tropics Collection used for this card.

ScrapBerry's is hosting a family themed challenge during May and June.

Tips and Techniques

I've used a combination of ScrapBerry's fabulous paper, fabric, and resin flowers and leaves to create this sweet focal point. A little dry brushing with white gesso softened them perfectly for the vintage feel I wanted to create.

A triple-loop bow is tied with Peach Shabby Ribbon dry brushed with white gesso to add to the shabby appearance, and a polymer feather is tucked in from the Colorful Dreams set. I brushed the feather with gesso before coloring with touches of ink. Bits of Shaved Ice chips and Prills are added for texture. I added background stamping in diagonal corners with the Fairy Tail Stamp. The sweet pearl flourish is from the Happy Holidays 1 Swirl Set.

The Tropics Card paper is filled with lovely sentiments including this Celebration piece which I distressed along the edges and dry brushed with white gesso.

I layered strips of Wind of Travel, Writings Washi Tape on the background paper before adding stenciling and stamping.
