Hello Bluebird Color Challenge 2

Did you hear about the new Color Challenge from Hello Bluebird Stamps?   The challenge started May 1st  and closes at 11.59pm MST on May 15th.  The randomly selected winner will be announced on May 16th.  I do hope you join in.   You can find all the challenge rules and details on the Hello Bluebird Instagram or Blog.   Find below the color board you're working with and my second of two inspiration cards, you can find the other one here on my blog by scrolling down.

This simple CAS card demonstrates that  you can enter the challenge with quick card and maybe produce several entries to increase your chance of winning.

I created an A2 white panel and a second panel which was cut down smaller.   I masked a line on the smaller panel and above it I blended 'sand' using Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink and a little Squeezed Lemonade and then I used Peacock Feathers for the sky.

I carefully removed the mask and stamped the sentiment from Beach Play, backed the panel with white craft foam and adhered it to the A2 panel and in turn to the card base.

I stamped the image from Beach Play and coloured it with the following Copic markers:-

Peach Reds - R05, R22, R21

Green - G02, G12

Gold Yellow - Y17, Y15, Y13

Bear - E42, E41, E40, E0000

Skunk - W5, W4, W3, W0, W00

Blushed Cheeks - R21, R20, R00

I die cut the image with coordinating dies backed it with dimensional foam tape and applied it.

Three tiny sparkling clear sequins completed this clean and simple scene.

I really appreciate you stopping by my blog today and wish you lots of luck and hope YOU are the lucky random winner!  Happy crafting!

 

Beach Play - Hello Bluebird Stamps

I can't imagine for even a second why I'd feel the urge to make a warm and sunny card in the middle of a NY winter!   That's pretty much how this happened to be my first card of this new year.   This is Beach Play by Hello Bluebird Stamps together with the Ocean Waves Scene Die.

I die cut a panel of white cardstock with the Ocean Waves Scene Die.  I ink blended all the different portions to form sky, sea and sand and glued all the pieces back together again within the frame.   I then layered over the scalloped frame from the Gallery Frame #5 die.

On Copic friendly cardstock I stamped my Beach Play images and I used Copic markers to colour them up and a white gel pen to highlight a few points.  Images were die cut, backed with foam tape and applied to the scene to tell a story.

To finish up I dotted in some glitter dots and other dots to the sand for some texture and interest and I stamped the sentiment.   The completed panel was applied to a white cardstock base and I added a few sparkling clear sequins.

Happy crafting!
