For both of today's challenges: F4A is geometry and MIX is to think in threes. For good measure, I threw in the CC: bumblebee, mossy meadow and blackberry bliss.
I used very vanilla cs and direct to paper with the bumblebee around the edges. Found the handmade paper that was basically cream with some green and brown leaves. Splattered that with the mossy meadow and bumblebee and distressed the edges. Finally used a piece of the SU dsp that I've had for a couple of years, had to have it. Cut sort of doily out of some vellum with flowers printed on it but that isn't visible. Cut three hexagons, ink blended the three colors on them and also three little birds. Added little eyes with the pen and a bit of shading at the bottom. Branches for the birds were cut out of early espresso. I wrapped a light colored ribbon around before layering everything over, hexagons are popped up as are the birdies. Found some sequins fairly close to the blackberry bliss. Simple sentiment added at the end.
Thanks for the challenges!
