Hey there!
I'm up on the Hello Bluebird blog with yet another card celebrating this beautiful Spring season. I've finally got some daffodils blooming in my garden so I thought it appropriate to ink up one of the cuties from the Flower Friends set. With Easter only a few days away I'm still in bunny mode so I decided to build this scene around the pretty bunny pulling her wagon full of Spring blooms. The pastoral background was done with some selective inking of the Country Roads Background stamp. Because I wanted to add the little bird that is also from the Flower Friends set to the wagon full of flowers, I stamped it first and then covered it with a mask before stamping the bunny and wagon. Next, I masked the bunny so I could stamp the background over top. To give the Country Roads Background a more wide open look, I chose not to ink up the large branch up top and I wiped the ink away from the tree root down in the grass. To fill the space in the sky I instead stamped the clouds from the Flower Friends set, which helped give this scene a whole new look.
Next, it was time to start coloring and I filled the scene with lots of green grass and sunlit blue sky using Copic markers. Because I had already used the Gallery Frame #3 die to cut out a pretty pink frame, I colored the wagon to match and used the same shades of pink in the flowers and her pretty floral dress. The large sentiment fit perfectly on the hillside and I stamped it using Versamark watermark ink and heat embossed it in white. With the frame glued into place all that was left to do was add it all to a card base and call this card complete. :)
See ya in 24!
