Hello this is Nicky with you today, welcome to the Hello Bluebird blog! I have an Easter card to hopefully inspire you with and for this project I’ve combined images from Spring Gatherings and Springtime – two stamp sets that work beautifully together.
The first step was to create the pastel plaid background panel which I did using a stencil kit in my stash. I brushed on Distress Inks using Clarity Stencil Brushes for a super soft look with no hard edges. I applied this panel to a white cardstock base.
I die cut the Gallery Frame #2 Die and used just the frame which I backed with foam tape and applied to the background. I then used the Grassy Knoll die to create the section of grass which I delicately ink blended with Distress Ink in Cracked Pistachio. I stamped the sentiment and backed this portion with foam tape also and applied it within the frame.
On Copic friendly cardstock I stamped the images from the two stamp sets using Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa. I used an array of Copic markers to colour everything and then I die cut and applied them to the background using either a single or double layer of foam tape to achieve some fun depth.
Cheeks were highlighted with a white gel pen and I decided that no other embellishment was needed for this card.
Appreciate you stopping by to read today. Happy crafting!

So super cute!!! I have quite a few customers that would love for us (franticstamper.com) to carry your stamps. How can I open a wholesale account with you?
I think you should keep checking back on the website for when HB are ready to further expand their wholesale opportunities beyond where they are now. Thank you for your interest!
So charming.
