Hello Bluebird: Good Fright

Hello Crafty Friends!

Today I am back with another card inspired by Spooky Season and my old childhood picture books. 

Today’s card features Stamps and Dies from Hello Bluebird. 

This Includes:

1. The Good Fright Stamps and Corresponding Dies

2. OakTeee Scene Die

3. Jack Die

I remember being drawn to picture books with bright and colorful pages. I tried to capture some of that nastolgia using bright yellows and oranges, as well as deep purples and browns. 

I first started by Die-cutting my scene dies from Bristol Smooth Card stock for easy ink blending application. I also cut my background panel with an A2 sized die. I ink blended the Dies and panel using Distress Oxide inks. 

After ink blending, I put together my scene dies by gluing them to my background. As soon as I completed my spooky background, I began the coloring process By stamping out my fox 🦊 Image from the Good Fright Stamp set using Antique Linen Distress Ink on Arches watercolor paper. I used the smoother side of the paper so my stamp would create a clear impression. Using Faber Castell watercolor pencils, I colored my 🦊 fox. I also die cut and watercolored some Pumpkins using the Jack Dies to create some nice foreground for my scene. 

I positioned my images and stamped out my sentiment. Finally I glued down my fox and Pumpkins and called my card finished!
