Mixed Media Birthday Card for Studio75 DT April Challenge

Welcome to my creative space!

It's time for Studio75 April Challenge.

The theme:

Bingo

Create any project, using any technique, using 3 elements from one line,

either vertically, horizontally or diagonally.

For challenge details and to enter stop by the Studio75 Challenge blog post HERE.

For my card, I selected the middle horizontal line using Bird, Green, and Flower. The gorgeous Studio75 Forever In Love Paper Collection worked so perfectly to meet this challenge with it's beautiful floral designs and plenty of amazing flowers and leaves to fussy cut for the project. It also includes warm and lovely greens in the foliage. I tucked in a few branches of lacy moss to highlight the green. All I needed to add to meet the challenge board was a sweet bird charm swooping next to the sentiment. 

Tips and Techniques

I used a circle die to trim out the birthday sentiment from the Forever In Love Paper Collection and fussy cut flowers, leaves, and the sweet heart to add to the floral cluster. I added a small spray of stamen from the Studio75 Store to tuck in as well. 

I just adore the subtle music pattern printed on this paper. I trimmed down the focal paper from the 6x6" paper set just a little and layered it over a second sheet from the collection. The edges of both pieces were inked and distressed.

I added a few items from my stash: a leafy jewelry pendant; a green vial from Solid Oak filled with iridescent seed beads for a bit of sparkle; lace, a bling circle, and bird charm. Just the other day at the craft store, I spied a package containing several varieties of moss, that I just had to buy. Bambino Glue worked perfectly to adhere the moss. Don't you just adore the texture that this natural element adds?

Here you can see the fabulous fussy cut images from the Forever In Love collection. The gorgeous dimensional flowers from Little Birdie Crafts at A.C. Moore coordinate so perfectly!!
