Oh Nuts! - Hello Bluebird Stamps

Hi!  I've got such an irresistibly fun card for you today featuring Oh Nuts! from the new release from Hello Bluebird Stamps that goes live on September 13th at 7pm MST.



For this slimline card that measures 8 1/2 inches by 3 1/2 inches, I masked off the edges of a panel of white cardstock and I ink blended using Distress Ink in Peeled Paint for the ground and I used Rusty Hinge to delicately stencil in the clouds.  I splashed a little water and paint on the ground portion just to break it up a bit.  Carefully, the mask was removed and the panel attached to sturdy 110lb white cardstock base and set aside.



On Bristol Smooth cardstock all images were stamped from Oh Nuts! using Archival Ink in Potting Soil.  The sweet images were watercolour painted using Kuretake Zigs in Brown, Light Pink, Wine Red, Beige, Mid Gray, Mid Brown and Olive Green.  Some points were highlighted with a white gel pen.



All images were die cut, backed with dimensional foam tape and applied to the background to create the scene.

Time for the finishing touches!   On a strip of Kraft cardstock I stamped the two sentiments using Versamark Ink then heat embossed with a copper coloured embossing powder.  Each strip was applied with foam tape.



As you see in the photo I also have some pretty rose gold sequins from Pretty Pink Posh that you can find HERE which are perfect for your Autumnal cards.  I glued these to finish out the card.

Thank you for stopping by to read about this card today, I will be back tomorrow with something completely different for Day 3 of Previews.

Happy Crafting!
