Mixed Media layout and sweet cards - June Birds of a Feather kit

Nicole here again today to share with you

another layout created with the Scraps of Elegance June kit.

I was inspired by a mood board and sketch. I love the beautiful feathery designs of the BoBunny Serendipity papers and all the die-cuts and chipboard shapes that went along with it.

I thought they were perfect for creating a whimsical and rustic page with a shabby chic twist to express the 'peace in my heart'.

The Scraps of Elegance main kit and floral add-on contain
gorgeous blooms from Prima, Petaloo and 49 and Market.
It is no surprise that flowers are my #1 crafty embellishment!

I sprinkled a fair share of glitter glass I received in a previous kit

and sprayed on some white mist over my embellishments.

I found that this quote was a great complement to my overall design as well as the photo used that was taken at dusk on the boardwalk in my town. I try to find peace within myself every day which is a challenge, but sure is worth it in the end. Creating art always brings me a sense of peace and I'm ever so grateful for the ability (thank you Scraps of Elegance) and the inspiration to create.

With a kit called 'Birds of a Feather' and the lovely bird die cuts

from the BoBunny Serendipity collection included in the June

Scraps of Elegance kit, I just knew that I had to create this card set!

I created 3 birthday cards (sentiment in french), each one

with different color birds and birdhouse on a ivory and yellow base.

I think this one is my favorite simply because I love the look of this green birdie in flight. In the BoBunny chipboard set from the kit, there are some framed images of the same birds. I used one on each card to match the die cut.
