Posted by Marine Simon | Jun 20, 2020 | Uncategorized

Hello there, . Today I’m taking you with me for a trip to Hawaii! Going there is one my dreams, so until I get to make that dream come true, this card is a good way to virtually visit the archipelago! . . I started with the coloring. I stamped all my images using Potting Soil ink by Ranger, cut everything using the coordinating dies, and colored all the pieces using my alcohol markers..We don’t have palm trees in our Hello Bluebird collection, maybe in the next release, who knows ^^ so I decided to create them myself. For...

Two Besties with Marine

Posted by Marine Simon | May 15, 2020 | Uncategorized

Hi everyone, Marine here with a sweet little scene showcasing two adorable friends from my favorite set from the last release: Besties. I first started by stamping all my images on white cardstock using Potting Soil ink by Ranger. I like to use this brown ink when I use Hello Bluebird stamps because I think it goes very well with the style of images. So I stamped and cut everything, and colored the images using my alcohol markers. Like always I used several sets to create my little scene: Besties, Picked for you, Oh nuts, Skating party, Banner buddies...

Hello everyone, Marine here with a cute and happy card featuring a sweet little bunny from the Meadow Bunnies stamp set as well as the Pathway Background stamp.

And I colored the whole scene using my alcohol markers, except for the sky because I knew that I wanted to use distress inks to create one. And when the coloring was done, I fussy cut the background to...

Hi there, Marine here with a cute window scene. A few days ago, I shared this card inspired by Canadian landscapes, so today we’re going to zoom into this scene and get a close up at the cabin! (this card was also inspired by a card Keiko made last year) I started by cutting a frame out white woodgrain cardstock using the Gallery Frame #3. I only kept the middle part that I trimmed to get a 2 x 2 square window, and colored it using vintage photo and ground espresso distress inks. To create the wood planks, I...

An African Savannah Safari with Marine

Today’s card features some cuties from the More Jungle Littles stamp set, as well as a few other stamp and die sets that helped me to create this lovely savannah scene. I started by cutting a bristol panel measuring 8,5 x 4,5 inches. I created the sky using a homemade cloud stencil and tumbled glass distress ink. Next I die cut my background elements using the Ocean Scene die, but kept only three pieces to build my scene. I colored the bottom piece using shabby shutters and peeled paint distress inks to get a faded green grass, and colored...
