McGregor's Garden - Hello Bluebird Stamps

Hello!   I have a new card for Hello Bluebird Stamps today that uses the Sunshine Scene Die in a new and fun way.  The card also features some of the cuties from McGregor's Garden.



I decided to switch to using the normally landscape Sunshine Scene Die to portrait mode and die cut an A2 panel of white cardstock.   Also cut mounds of grass using the cloud portion.  I ink blended each section and put the jigsaw puzzle back together again, adhering each piece one by one to a panel of cardstock.   I stamped in some little tufts of grass and framed out the background using the Gallery Frame #1 Die, cut from more white cardstock.  This was backed with dimensional foam tape and applied.



I stamped the bunnies and birds from McGregor's Garden on to Strathmore Bristol Smooth cardstock using Ranger Archival Ink in Potting Soil.   I watercolour painted the images using Kuretake Zigs and then die cut, backed with foam tape and applied.  Points were highlighted with a white gel pen.



To finish the project I die cut a cloud from the Maverick coordinating die set and applied it with the sentiment stamped on it and the scattered blooms are from Banner Buddies.

Happy crafting!

Garden Friends & Sunshine Scene Die - Hello Bluebird Stamps

Hi!  I'm back with a new card for Hello Bluebird Stamps.  Once again I'm using the delightful birds from the Garden Friends stamp set and this time I've set them against the clever Sunshine Scene Die.




To create this card I first die cut a panel of white cardstock using the Sunshine Scene Die.  I ink blended all the different portions.  The sun was done with a little squeezed lemonade and then edged with Spiced Marmalade as were the cloud edges.   The sky portions with Tumbled Glass.



I reassembled the Sunshine Scene die-cuts by adhering them to a panel of cardstock one piece at a time.  I then die cut the larger frame using the Gallery Frame #4 die.  I backed it with foam tape and applied it to the panel which in turn was applied to a sturdy 110lb cover white cardstock base.

On Copic friendly cardstock I stamped the adorable birds from Garden Friends using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa.  I Copic coloured the images, they were die cut and added to the scene with more of the foam tape.   The floating notes were also stamped, die cut and added with tiny pieces of foam tape behind them and the sentiment stamped on a strip of cardstock and similarly applied.



To finish I just adhered a few sparkling clear sequins but otherwise kept it simple.

Happy crafting!
