Welcome to my creative space!
It's time for a new challenge at Studio75. This month is special because Studio75 celebrates its seventh Birthday! We invite you to celebrate together and create a birthday project (the number 7 is optional).
You can find the challenge details and enter your project HERE.
I have created a birthday card with the beautiful Forever in Love collection along with chipboard from the Studio75 Store. I have also used gorgeous Little Birdie Crafts flowers to embellish. Although this card is not for a 7th birthday, I have incorporated the 7 theme by using 7 flowers, 7 chipboard hearts, and by stamping loads of images onto the background that include the numeral 7.
Tips and Techniques
The gorgeous Scrapiniec chipboard Doily Frame and Confetti Hearts are painted with Cadence Antique Bronze Paint mixed with some Little Birdie Golden Glaze Metallic paint to lighten it up just a bit. I just gave the paint a quick stir so that there would be variations in the paint going from light to a little darker to add visual interest.
The background stamping is 3rd generation in order to keep it light. (I inked up my stamp and stamped twice on a scrap of paper before stamping on the background.) If you look closely, you will see the numeral 7 repeated in the stamping. I've also used an Agateria Grille 3 stamp to create a border around the edges.
I've arranged 7 gorgeous Little Birdie Crafts flowers to create this beautiful cluster in the center of the chipboard frame, and there are 7 hearts floating across the background as well.
Prills and Finnabair Microbeads are adhered with Bambino Glue to add lovely texture.
The birthday sentiment is cut from the Cutting Accessories 01 page. After stamping, I stenciled the background with Finnabair's Frosty Pearl Icing Paste through the Diamond Grunge Art Anthology Stencil.
