"Follow Your Heart" Mixed Media Card for Studio75

Welcome to my creative space!

I have a new project for Studio75 to share with you today. I've created a mixed media card featuring the gorgeous Lavender Morning and Violet Love Paper collections along with lovely chipboard, stamps, trim and a stencil from the Studio75 store. The gorgeous flowers are from Little Birdie Crafts available at A.C. Moore. I adore the beautiful images included in the Lavender Morning papers that I fussy cut to use along with the dimensional flowers to embellish the card. These images along with the moss give a beautiful organic feel to the card.

I like to have a variety of cards ready to use for a variety of occasions. This card could be used for nearly any event from anniversaries to graduations or even a birthday.

Tips and Techniques

I painted a Nest Frame and Confetti Hearts with Finnabair Iris Potion Sparks Paint to perfectly coordinate and arranged gorgeous Little Birdie Crafts flowers available at A.C. Moore along with a rosette cut from Organza Rose Trim and natural moss to created a focal cluster. The moss is adhered with Bambino Glue. I also fussy cut flowers and leaves from the Lavender Morning paper set to tuck in around the cluster. Aren't they gorgeous images?

The green background paper is cut from the Lavender Morning 01 sheet to 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches and backed with a paper from the Violet Love 6x6 paper set in a lavender print to frame the card. The edges of the green paper are distressed using the edge of my scissors.

The background is stamped with an Agateria Grille Stamp in permanent grey ink, then stenciled with a Studio75 Brick Stencil using Finnabairs Limestone Stone Effect Paste. I dry brushed lightly with white gesso to highlight the texture, then spattered with Lindy's Gang Tibetan Poppy Teal Starburst  color mist and white ink. 

A Tim Holtz Small Talk sentiment sticker is colored with coordinating ink. I thought this was a perfect sentiment to go with the Scrapiniec chipboard Confetti Hearts cascading across the card.

A little butterfly I molded using the Regal Findings Prima ReDesign Mould, painted, and rubbed with Finnabair Vintage Gold wax.
