Hello Bluebird Stamps - July Release - Bloomin Happy

 







It's Day Two of Previews for tomorrow's release by Hello Bluebird Stamps.  The release goes live 7/10 at 7pm MST.   Here's what I've used in the making of this new card:-

Bloomin Happy
Bloomin Happy Die
Just For You Words Die

I prepared a full A7 white panel of cardstock.  I added a smaller red panel using the Nesting A7 die set and then created one more smaller white panel which I stamped with the Woven Background Stamp and after stamping I ink blended around the edges  to create a soft focal point.  All the panels were glued together and to the card base.  I created another panel in the feature panel size and used the Grassy Knoll die to create some grass to ground everything on.  I ink blended here with Distress Oxide Inks in Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn, I distressed with a spritzing of water and then I mixed water with white acrylic paint and spritzed again then applied to the background with dimensional tape.




I stamped the images from the adorable Bloomin Happy stamp set using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa and I coloured with the following Copic marker combinations:-

Toadstools - R59, R39, R37, R08, R05, E77, E74, E71, E70, E44, E43, E42, E41
Bluebird - B02, B41, C0, C00, YR09, YR07
Butterfly - YR09, T6, T4, T2, T0
Bunny - W4, W3, W2, W0, W00
Squirrel - E44, E55, E42, E41, E40
Mouse - C3, C1, C0, C00
Blushes - R22, R20, R00, R000

I highlighted with a white gel pen then die cut and applied all the images to the background using either a single or double layer of dimensional foam tape.  This is a large and substantial feeling card, that's how I like to build them!

To finish I used the new Just For You Words Die, creating the background with white cardstock and the detail letter words on top in a blue cardstock toning nicely with the background.  Finally a few sparkling clear sequins take the eye around the card.

Come back tomorrow for another exciting reveal and set your alarm for 7pm Eastern tomorrow!  It is recommended to shop early!!!
