Hello Bluebird Stamps - Preview Day 1 of the August Release

 

It's Preview Day 1 to the August 11th release from Hello Bluebird Stamps.   You can buy the new release starting at 7pm MST.   My first card previews the new 'Page Turner' stamp set which of course comes with coordinating dies.   This is a large A7 card and to build it I used the Nesting A7 Die.

I used the nesting die to create 3 panels using the 3 largest sizes in the set.  I glued these in a stack and with the white top panel I ink blended and then stamped a faint wallpaper design to create a sweet focal point.  The sentiment from the new stamps set was added to the corner.

I stamped the images from Page Turner using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa and I coloured the images with the following Copic marker combinations:-

Green - G19, G07, YG13

Deep Pink - RV17, RV06, RV04

Blue - B24, B23, B12, B41

Browns - E87, E44, E43, E42, E41

Dog/Lampshade - E42, E51, E0000

White - C3, C1, C0

Cat - C5, C3, C1

Skin - E04, E11, E21, E00

I added a strip to form the baseboard for a little definition and then die cut the images and applied them in a cosy grouping using dimensional foam tape.

To finish I just used a white gel pen to highlight a few areas and with that the card was complete
