North Star - Hello Bluebird Stamps

Welcome back to my blog where I have a new card to share with you today for Hello Bluebird Stamps and which features the stamp set North Star for all your cute New Year cards.



To create this card I first ink blended the background using Distress Inks in Wilted Violet and Aged Mahogany.  I used a gold shade from the Kuretake watercolour Starry paints to splatter on the 'golden snow' and then used Versamark Ink to stamp the sentiments, heat embossing in super fine gold embossing powder.



On Bristol Smooth cardstock the sweet little animals from North Star were stamped using Ranger Archival Ink in Potting Soil.  They were watercolour painted using many colours of Kuretake Zigs.  Images were highlighted with a white gel pen and die cut using the coordinating dies.   Each image was then backed with dimensional foam tape and applied to the background.



The card panel was attached to a 110lb cover white cardstock base and then this really rather simple but sweetly opulent card was complete.

Wish you a very happy New Year and hours of wonderful crafting.
