For Janelle's Give All the Credit MIXed media challenge. I always give as much "credit" as possible in my descriptions anyway.
I searched "credit card" in the tutorials section and came up with a few, including acrylic stencil deboss which I normally like. 5 attempts and a lot of time later, I didn't have anything I liked but decided to just run with one of them anyway - so I loaded a lot of stuff on. Originally it was yellow and green with a little red. I used white paint and drywall mesh tape to stencil randomly all round the edges.
Then I took a Joanna Sheen tropical frame stencil and mixed paste with Brushos, let it dry. Mixed more, this time with moss green (the first time was leaf green) and stencilled up the left side and overlapping the original green along the bottom. Sprinkled some gold glitter on it while it was still wet. The blossoms were in a dish on my desk (watercolours on watercolour paper), and the blues looked good on my background but there weren't enough. So I stamped the birds, embossed with clear EP and coloured with Twinkling H2Os. The strip of gold glitter card was on my desk, all ready for them to perch on. Hello was cut twice, once from a scrap of serendipity scraps background, once from gold card, and I did my best at outlining it with a black pen - not easy after I'd added Stickles all round the edges of the card and Liquid Pearls to the flower stamens.

This just speaks ‘happy’ to me, Sabrina
Everything in art means don’t abandon it too soon.
You stayed the course and as a result you have this fun
Jungle scene for all to enjoy.
