Well I couldn't resist doing another using this gorgeous bluebell stamp. This time I've gone for more of a vintage look.
Cut out a piece of card just slightly bigger than the stamp.
Stamp and emboss the bluebells stamp.
Watercolour the area around the bluebells using speckled egg distress ink by dabbing the ink on a tile and applying with water and a paintbrush.
Colour the stamped image - for this I used promarkers and spectrum noir pens.
Using a sponge applicator ink the edges with tea dye distress ink.
Stamp and emboss the little bumblebee from CI-488 and colour its body.
I went over the wings with the spectrum noir sparkle pen to add abit of shimmer.
Add some white highlights to the bluebells.
Distress the edges by running the blade of a pair a scissors along the edge of the card. I normally use the Tim Holtz distressing tool, however I seem to of misplaced it!
Ink the edges with shaded lilac. This didn't really turn out as I was hoping - it was more of a dirty lilac look, but I was still pleased with it.
To create the back ground cut out a piece of white card to fit on a 5x7 folded card blank that will leave a slight white border around the edge.
Apply brushed corduroy around the edges - fading the colour into the centre.
Randomly stamp the CI-436 script stamp in Brushed corduroy.
Stamp a selection of grasses and leaves from CI-207. I stamped the grasses in black and the ferns in green to bring in another colour.
Stamp a couple more bees around the top section and colour.
Such a beautiful card and I love the stamps that you've used in the background too x
