Country Roads Scenic Background Stamp - Hello Bluebird Stamps
Hello Bluebird has an exciting new release featuring all backgrounds stamps. This release will be available to buy at 7pm MST on March 25th. There will be 7 brand new ones in all but also, all the previously released rubber backgrounds stamps are going to re-released as clear stamps going forwards.
To create this card I stamped the 6 x 6 inch Country Roads Scenic Background Stamp image to an A2 panel of Copic friendly cardstock using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa. I coloured the background image using Copic markers and accented with coloured gel pens for the tufts of grass and suggestion of flowers in the fields.
I stamped my images from Easter Egg Hunt and also Copic coloured those. They were die cut, backed with foam tape and applied to the scene. Points were highlighted with a white gel pen.
For the sentiment, I used the the Charlie Alpha Die and changed happy to hoppy to be a little punny. Each letter consists of 5 die cuts with each one being glued in a stack and then using a ruler to align the letters before committing to glueing them to the card. Underneath I just used the word Easter also found in Easter Egg Hunt.
The card panel was adhered to a sturdy white cardstock base and with that it was finished!
I'll be back tomorrow with a brand new background from the release to share with you! I hope you join me for that. Happy crafting!

Easter Egg Hunt - Hello Bluebird Stamps
Today's card for Hello Bluebird Stamps has a lovely soft look because I used a no-line Copic technique. Featured here is the Easter Egg Hunt stamp set.
To create this card I first made the background panel by brushing on Distress Inks with Clarity Stencil Brushes, then distressing with paint splashes.
The clouds and grassy hills were created using the Grassy Knoll die set. Once they'd been die cut I ink blended them using Cracked Pistachio for the grass and Tumbled Glass for the clouds. I took what would be my lower portion of grass and I stamped and heat embossed it with the Easter Blessings sentiment from the Spring Banner Script stamp set. The embossing is very raised because I used my Misti and repeated the process 3 or 4 times.
I assembled these die cuts with foam tape behind them and applied them to the background panel which in turn was adhered to a 110lb white cardstock base.
On Copic friendly cardstock I stamped my images from Easter Egg Hunt using Nuvo Hybrid Ink in 'Soft Suede'. I inked up my stamps and stamped them off once on some scrap paper and then stamped again on my Copic paper which gives just enough of an image to colour in but you can make the lines disappear.
I coloured the images with an array of Copic markers then highlighted some points and finally I die cut, backed them with foam tape and added them to the scene.
I used a Sakura Gelly Roll Pen in a pale silvery gold to accent the butterfly wings a little and I dotted a little more into the hazy background and with that the card was complete.
Happy crafting!

Easter Egg Hunt - Hello Bluebird Stamps
Hi! I'm still turning out the Easter cards because I'm so inspired by Hello Bluebird's new release! This card is mostly images from their Easter Egg Hunt stamp set and a few images from Spring Gatherings.
This card started with a panel of white cardstock which I die cut 4 times using the Grassy Knoll die. I used Distress Oxide Ink in Cracked Pistachio to ink blended each grassy strip and the sky was ink blended with Distress Oxide in Broken China.
I adhered all the pieces back together on the reverse then ran it through my Cuttlebug with a simple pierced edge die.
The sentiment was stamped on a tag from the Stitched Tag Builder die set and applied with foam tape.
All of the other elements from Easter Egg Hunt and Spring Gatherings were stamped onto Bristol Smooth cardstock using Ranger Archival Ink in Potting Soil. The images were were watercolour painted using the following - Tombow ABTs in 020 and 451. Arteza in Sea Foam Green A158. Kuretake Zigs in Brown 060, Mid Gray 096, Dark Brown 062, Cool Gray(1) 099, Dark Brown 062, Light Gray 091, Oatmeal 064, Bright Yellow 052, Orange 070, Light Pink 026, Flesh Colour 071 and Pale Pink 028. Certain points were highlighted with a white gel pen.
I die cut these cuties and used more foam tape to apply them to the scene and I made sure they were all interacting with one another.
I decided to dot in some teeny tiny dots of white Crystal Nuvo Drops as subtle daisies into the grass and otherwise leave the card unembellished - more than enough cuteness on there! I attached the panel to a 110lb white cardstock base and card complete!
Thank you for visiting my blog I hope to see you next time.

Easter Egg Hunt & Spring Gatherings - Hello Bluebird Stamps
Hi! We're on Day 3 of Previews for the new Hello Bluebird Release (February 15th). My card today combines two new stamp sets that work as well together as they do separately. They are called Easter Egg Hunt and Spring Gatherings.
Kicking off I ink blended the background panel using Distress Oxides in Tumbled Glass, Spun Sugar and Spiced Marmalade. I also die cut a panel using Grassy Knoll and ink blended that with Cracked Pistachio. Both pieces were die cut to provide the simple pierced edge and the grassy panel was adhered to the main panel with foam tape to lift it up and in turn the whole panel attached to a prepared A2 110lb sturdy white cardstock base, perfect for weighty and dimensional cards like this.
On Bristol Smooth cardstock my images from both new stamp sets were stamped with Archival Ink in Potting Soil. Everything was watercolour painted using the following colours - Tombow ABTs in 020 and 451. Arteza in Sea Foam Green A158. Kuretake Zigs in Brown 060, Mid Gray 096, Dark Brown 062, Cool Gray(1) 099, Dark Brown 062, Light Gray 091, Oatmeal 064, Bright Yellow 052, Orange 070, Light Pink 026, Flesh Colour 071 and Pale Pink 028. Phew!!!!!!!
All images were die cut and adhered either directly or with foam tape. Points were highlighted with a white gel pen.
Finishing touches were to stamp the sentiment onto the wavy tag from the Stitched Tag Builder Die, applying it with foam tape and a few sparkling clear sequins were glued in too.
Another card complete and I'll be back for another day of previews tomorrow! See you then I hope.
