Portrait Pals - Hello Bluebird Stamps

It's our 4th and final day of previews at Hello Bluebird Stamps and this slimline card uses several new products starting with the Portrait Pals stamp set, Typed Everyday sentiment set and Photo Stack dies for the frames.



My card dimensions are 8 1/2 inches x 3 1/2 inches and fits a Size 9 envelope.   A panel was masked at the edges then was ink blended with Distress Inks in Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron then splashed with some Mowed Lawn that was loosened up with a drop of water.  The mask was removed when dry.



I die cut several of photo frames from Photo Stack and arranged them on the panel and adhered them at playful angles using dimensional foam tape.

On Bristol Smooth cardstock all of the images were stamped with Archival Ink in Potting Soil and watercolour painted using the following colours - Tombow 020, Artezas in Pea Green A150 and Moss Green A122 and then rest were Kuretake Zigs in Mid Gray 096 Light Gray 091, Dark Gray 095, Dark Brown 062, Deep Green 044 and Olive Green 043.

All images were die cut and adhered into position with yet more foam tape.  I also used some of the speech bubbles included in Photo Stack and used a little masking and stamping magic to stamp the sentiments just as I wanted them from the new and very useful Typed Everyday sentiment set.  The decorative panel was applied to a 110lb white cardstock base.



Since the card is so lush with greenery and detail I decided no further embellishment was necessary - another card complete!

Hope you like the card and feel inspired.  See you soon!
