Happy Fall, Y'all...

Hi there! 

Have you seen the new Cider and Cocoa Fall release at Hello Bluebird yet? The five new stamp sets and four new die sets went up for pre-order in September and they are now in stock in the shop. I couldn't wait to ink up some of the cute critters from the In the Pumpkin Patch set and create a fun fall harvest scene. I started by stamping up the fox and squirrel before masking them off and adding the sign and pumpkins behind them. Those then got masked off and I stamped the raccoon last. Well, not quite last... I was then struck with and 'a-ha' moment and grabbed the older Farmland Background. So, I masked the raccoon as well then only partially inked the background, focusing on the distant fields and barn. Once all of the masks were removed I had this cute farm scene ready to color. After the coloring was done I used the Ric Rac Card die and Ric Rac Frame die to frame it in a really sweet way. I'll be honest, I have a feeling I will be using these dies quite a bit in the near future, LOL!  

Thanks for stopping by!
