Shabby Chic Birthday Card featuring Studio75 The Peony Avenue Collection for Scrap & Craft

Welcome to my creative space!

I'm excited to share my first design team project for Scrap & Craft with you, a shabby chic birthday card featuring The Peony Avenue Collection by Studio75 along with a sweet cherry blossom flower and pearl stamens from the store.

Tips and Techniques

I fussy cut the leaves from the image page included in The Peony Avenue Paper Pack.  To create the stamen cluster, several of the stamen pieces are folded in half and glued together. The sweet Cherry Blossom is dry brushed with white gesso and set into a rhinestone circle pin I had in my stash.

I tied a triple loop bow from wrinkle ribbon, which I colored with distress ink and lightly dry brushed with white gesso to enhance the shabby chic feel I was going for.

I ran a line of Bambino Glue down the center of the butterfly and sprinkled with prills to form a dimensional body for this chipboard butterfly. The butterfly is heat embossed in white, then rubbed with Finnabair Rose Gold Wax and adhered atop a decorative resin frame.

I tried to keep this card simple, but couldn't resist spattering white ink droplets across the background.

The edges of the focal paper are distressed and lightly inked. The vintage lace is from my stash, and I added a few half pearls to the floral centers.
