Mixy Matchy Style

I was really taken with the challenge at Moxie Fab World that Cath calls Mixy Matchy Style - combining many patterns in a pleasing way.  I should be able to do that easily, given my background in quilting; one of my favorite parts of making a quilt was choosing the fabrics.  But this was a true challenge to me.  Compared to some of the examples that Cath showed us, this is pretty tame, but it's a start!  After playing with dozens of patterns,  here's what I came up with for my first try:

I started with that K&Company Susan Winget bird grand adhesions sticker.  I've had it for years and decided I'd make it the focal point of my card.  The papers I finally decided on come from so many collections, old and new: October Afternoon Sidewalks and 9 to 5, My Mind's Eye Stella & Rose Mabel and Bramble Rose, Fancy Pants Park Bench, and Basic Grey BowTies.  I added some Hobby Lobby lace, washi tape from Michael's and stickers by Cosmo Cricket as my sentiment.

It all came together once I decided on this Page Maps sketch that I had pinned.  Without that I'd still be playing with my papers!  This was really fun, Cath, thank you for pushing me out of my comfort zone; I'm going to try another one soon!
