"Life is Meant to be Lived" Mixed Media Card for Little Birdie Crafts

Welcome to my creative space!

I'm delighted to be back to share this sweet card I created for Little Birdie Crafts featuring their gorgeous Birds and Berries collection. I normally make 6x6" or 5x7" cards, but thought I'd try something a little different by creating this 9" by 3.75" card that fits a #10 or legal size envelope. It was fun to create an arrangement that fit this taller and thinner space.

I hope you'll hop on over to the Little Birdie Crafts blog for a full photo tutorial explaining how I put this shabby mixed media card together including details showing how I altered the flowers and embellishments HERE.
