The County Flowers Bundle and the County Birdhouse Bundle were employed in crafting a stunning trio of projects during my recent YouTube Live session. This showcase featured a gorgeous sympathy card and a versatile birthday card, highlighting the suite’s adaptability. If you missed the live presentation, you can watch the replay below.

This stunning sympathy card has a soothing palette of Misty Moonlight, Boho Blue, and Mossy Meadow that is applied with a Water Painter. When watercoloring, it is a breeze to control the desired shade of the ink.

Continuing with the watercoloring technique and color palette, I created a beautiful birthday card. A piece of the coordinating Designer Series Paper is added to showcase one of the patterns in the County Woods Suite.

I truly enjoy designing 3D projects for my followers. The Country Birdhouse Bundle has a birdhouse die that is perfect for doing so. To complete this trio of projects, I used the birdhouse die to create an adorable treat holder.
