Hello Bluebird Stamps - Fright Mice

 

Hello friends!   Today I have created a new card for Hello Bluebird Stamps using the Fright Mice stamp set from the recent (but now sold out) Halloween Speciality Kit.  I already had all of the images coloured from the first time I made and shared a card with Fright Mice and knew when I had a couple of hours I'd get to use the remaining coloured images.  So, without further delay here's what I used to make this card:-

Fright Mice Stamp Set

Fright Mice Die

Light of the Moon Die

Nesting Deckle Mini Slimline Die

I used the deckle die to create a white panel of cardstock (largest die from the set).  I ink blended the panel using Dried Marigold and Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks.  I then covered the bottom portion of the panel with kitchen paper and with the rest I splattered on some diluted white acrylic paint.  I then used Copic markers to give the suggestion of some ground for the mice to eventually stand on.

I stamped the sentiment in black ink and then die cut and formed the 'Light of the Moon' die cut pieces and glued in place.

So I had those Fright Mice already coloured so here are those colours again from my first card a few days ago:-

Mice - E34, E31, E41, W00, W3, W1

Blush - R22, R21, R20, R00

Black - T7, T5, T4

The images were highlighted with a white gel pen, backed with foam tape and then applied to the scene.

The 'Light of the Moon' die set includes the 3 bat images which I die cut from black cardstock and applied with foam tape and I gave them glimmering eyes with a metallic gel pen and dotted in a few stars in the background with the same pen.

This whole decorative panel was backed with a panel of black craft foam and applied to a slightly larger black panel of cardstock which in turn was adhered to the card base.

Thanks for stopping by, I'll be back soon with something new!

Hello Bluebird Stamps - September Halloween Speciality Kit

 

Not long to go now before Monday's huge new kit release goes live at Hello Bluebird Stamps.  You can but the new kits at 7pm MDT tomorrow September 16th.  Today I'm revealing a card that was created using products from the 'Halloween Speciality Kit' and in addition I've used dies that you can find in Hello Bluebird's 'Essential' category.  I've used:-

Fright Mice

Fright Mice Die

Trick or Treat word die

Grassy Knoll Die

I generally like to start with my background panel and this was no exception.  I ink blended a panel using Distress Oxide Inks in Dried Marigold and Black Soot.  I spattered it with white acrylic paint loosened with a drop or two of water.  I backed this panel with craft foam and glued it to a slightly larger panel of Eiffel Tower cardstock by MFT.  This in turn was glued to an A6 card base which gave me a little white surround around the feature panel too which I always like the look of.

I stamped the images from Fright Mice which is one of the brand new Halloween stamp sets included in the Halloween Speciality Kit.  I coloured the images using the following Copic marker combinations:-

Mice - E34, E31, E41, W00, W3, W1

Blush - R22, R21, R20, R00

Spooky Balloon & Banner etc - C3, C1, C0, BG70, BG11

Black - T7, T5, T4

The images were die cut using the companion die.  I highlighted points with a white gel pen.

I took more of the same Eiffel Tower cardstock and created the grass using the Grassy Knoll die which I applied with foam tape, I also die cut the same cardstock one time using the Trick or Treat die.  I then die cut sturdy white cardstock 3 times more using the same die and I glued the words in stacks then glued it to the background before highlighting the lettering with a white gel pen.

To finish the card I added candy images scattered at the feet of the mice.   I stamped the smaller sentiment on a strip and applied with foam tape and then I added some 4 point star embellishments through the eerie sky for some final sparkle.

I certainly hope you enjoyed my card today.  I will be back here tomorrow with a final preview card before the release goes live.
