Hello Bluebird Stamps - Happy Autumn

 

Creating for fun with the September Kits by Hello Bluebird Stamps and I made this Autumnal card using the Fall Cleanup Crew stamp set together with Nesting Circle and Square Dies which you can find in the Essentials section on the website.

I chose some patterned paper from my stash and used the Square Die to create a panel which I adhered to a slightly larger white card base made with nice and sturdy cardstock.  I die cut two circles, one from kraft and one from the same sturdy white cardstock.  I adhered the kraft circle to the patterned background and with the white panel I ink blended with Speckled Egg and Forest Moss Distress Oxide Inks.  I used Copic markers to create a little interest in the grass then splattered the panel with slightly diluted white acrylic paint.  I stamped the sentiment and then adhered the circle to the kraft circle.

The images from Fall Cleanup Crew were stamped with Eiffel Tower Ink by MFT and coloured with the following Copic marker combinations:-

Fox - E27, E25, E23, E13, E11, C3, C1, C0

Bunny - W5, W4, W3, W0, E31, E41, E40

Squirrel - E29, E59, E27, E57, W1, W0, W00

Mouse - T5, T3, T0

Blushes - R22, R20, R00

Brown Pants - E49, E79, E77

Teal - BG72, BG11,  BG70, C3, C1, C0

Pumpkins - YR27, YR04, YR21, E44, E43

Leaves - YG95, YR27, YR21

Images were highlighted with a white gel pen then die cut using the companion dies.  I found an arrangement I was happy with and then began to adhere all of the images using dimensional foam tape.

I didn't feel any embellishments were particularly necessary but I did add a little wooden heart embellishment above the bunny's raised paw which kind of sums up how much I love Autumn!

Thanks for visiting my blog today and happy crafting!
