Field Mice - Hello Bluebird Stamps

I've got a new card for you today using Field Mice the adorable stamp set that formed part of the June release from Hello Bluebird stamps.



My slimline cards measure 8 1/2 inches x 3 1/2 inches to fit a standard size 9 envelope.

I masked a panel of white cardstock with washi tape and softly ink blended Distress Inks in Tumbled Glass and Cracked Pistachio using my Clarity Stencil Brushes.  I stamped the sentiment and then carefully removed the mask, adhered the panel to a white cardstock base and set it to one side.



Using Bristol Smooth cardstock I stamped the images from Field Mice using Ranger Archival Ink in Potting Soil and watercolour painted them using Kuretake Zigs in Green Gray, Beige, Light Gray, Pale Pink, Light Pink, Yellow, Wine Red, May Green, Warm Gray (2) and Cobalt Blue.  Points were highlighted with a white gel pen and they were die cut, backed with foam tape and applied to the scene.




The finishing touch was the application of water droplet style embellishments, keeping the card looking fresh, summery and fun but with that lovely pop of read delicious red from the strawberries.

Thank you for coming by to read, see you next time!
