Hi Studio75 fans! It's
Tracey here to share a sweet card with you featuring the fabulous
Berry Copse paper collection along with beautiful chipboard from the store.
The current Studio75 challenge is to create something for Mother's Day. Our daughter and her husband had their first child, a little boy, two month's ago. Being a mom is such a wonderful experience that I thought this sentiment that says "and so the adventure begins" would be perfect for this card that I created to celebrate her very first Mother's Day.

Tips and Techniques
The papers from the
Berry Copse collection have such gorgeous, rich colors and designs as seen in this beautiful green background paper. I added a leaf design stenciled with molding paste and stamped opposite corners with an
Agateria grille stamp from the store.
I combined succulents, burlap flowers and dimensional flowers to create a focal cluster. I heat embossed
Scrapiniec Confetti Chipboard Hearts and
Artistico HDF Cogs with shabby white embossing powder as well as a metal gear from my stash and tucked them in around the edges of the cluster.
For added interest, I tucked in a few
Pistachio Stamen and then filled in with some green prills adhered with
Bambino Glue. Don't you think this sentiment is just perfect for a first Mother's Day?
I simply adore that each and every Studio75 paper collection includes such gorgeous images to fussy cut. These leaves and berries are found on the
03/04 paper strip.
The burlap flowers are lightly dry brushed with white gesso for a softer look.
More fussy cutting. You can also see that I tucked in a pearl and several sparkling art pebbles.
And one final close-up of the cog. I recently added a few bee charms to my stash and couldn't resist adding them here. They are silver, but I rubbed gold art wax over them so they would better coordinate with the other elements.
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you've been inspired to grab your Studio75 supplies and create a card for someone special in your life!
