Thinking of You Shabby Chic Card | Little Birdie Crafts

#kerriegurney #littlebirdiecrafts

Hi Everyone
Kerrie here popping in to share a card I created for a very special friend.
I wanted this card to let her know she and her family are in my thoughts always but didn't want a traditional sympathy card.
Little Birdie Shabby Chic Bouquet paper pad was the perfect choice with it's soft colour palette



After selecting my base papers I then applied Mixed Media Paste using the Butterfly Inspire Stencil


apply the paste randomly, then lift stencil off and set aside to dry


fussy cut flower clusters and wreath



add a strip from the border patterned paper


Paint over stencilled section using a watered down mix of Pink Ballet Chalk Paint and set aside to dry or dry off using a heat tool, being careful not to buckle your paper


Paint Chipboard frame using watered down Pink Ballet Chalk Paint, dry off using heat tool and then rub edges using Rich Gold Metallic Wax 


Gently apply Rich Gold Metallic Wax to stencilled pattern, taking care not to overdue, you want to give some colour and dimension



Layer on Chipboard frame, fussy cut clusters along with some handmade flowers
Finish off with a spattering of watered down Gesso


a closer look





Chipboard, Round Frame Flowers & Butterfly
