Hello hello! Hope you are having a great weekend! I’m at a crafty retreat and my MIL is here too, I brought this card to give to her. Was so good to give her a card in person!
The brushstrokes were done with acrylic paint — I got the idea from Wilna’s Color Theory class at Studio Calico. Enrollment is closed right now, but if there’s ever another class by Wilna you should jump right in! I’ve learned so much from her and it’s just a joy to watch her videos.
I used Studio Calico’s Color Theory acrylic paints and then various ones from my stash — see list below. You’ll be seeing more of the deja blue — it’s such a pretty blue. In love.
The die cut is this one from Hero Arts — it’s becoming a fast fave. It’s Kelly Rasumssen’s handwriting — love her writing so much!
Speaking of loving lettering — did you hear that Studio Calico is going to have a lettering class in April? I am so in! I don’t hate my lettering, but then I don’t really love it, either.
Registration for this online workshop will close on April 30th at 11:59pm EST. Class will being on April 6th. See ya there? xo

Lisa, I just love this card, and I’m sure your MIL did, too! Such darling elements, especially that sweet bird and heart! And is that a strip of washi?
Hi Lin! Yes she loved it :)
It’s a little strip of patterned paper but I bet you could use washi tape instead too!
I have no idea what/who a MIL is……but she is one lucky gal. I love this great collage card with the amazing colors. You rock, girlfriend! Will be anxious to see all you do at your retreat and I like the look of these classes. Thanks, Lisa!
