A Spring Hello with Nicky

Hello everyone this is Nicky with you today and I’m sharing the details for this new card I made with a sweet Spring feel to it, a card for any occasion with the simple ‘Hello’ sentiment. Read on for all the details!

To create this card I have used patterned paper from Lawn Fawn and the following Hello Bluebird Stamps products:-

Picked For You

Picked For You Die

Nesting Oval Die

I started by creating a mustard yellow A2 panel, over which I layered the patterned panel that was trimmed a 1/4 of an inch smaller. I glued these together and then used the Nesting Oval Die to create a vellum oval and then I used a size down to create a white oval.

I ink blended the white oval with a little green patch for grass at the bottom and I did a toning yellow sky to the patterned paper and using a cloud edge stencil from my stash. I distressed the background ink blending and I adhered the ovals together then to the background.

I stamped and coloured the images from Picked For You and coloured them with the following Copic marker combinations:-

Skin – E11, E21, E00, E000

Hair – YR30, E42, E43

Shirt – Y26, Y32, YR20, C3, C1, C0

Skirt – C3, C1, C0

Basket and Shoes – E44, E43

Bunny – E44, E43, E42, E41, E40

Bluebird – B14, B32, B91, BG70

Blushes – R22, R20, R000

I die cut these images and applied them to the scene with dimensional foam tape. I stamped and added the small sentiment. Points were highlighted with a white gel pen and I added some sparkling clear sequins for the finishing touch.
