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.
