The flowers are starting to bloom and the foxes have been running around my backyard lately, so when I saw the adorable new Be Wild stamp set from Rubbernecker, I knew right away I wanted to create a bright springtime scene with it. To give them a sweet storybook feel, I used no line watercoloring on my critters and placed them in a cheerful scene created with simple die-cuts and a little stenciling. Here are the easy steps to make this card:
- Stamp the fox and mouse images from the Be Wild stamp set onto white cardstock with Mocha ink.
- Color them in with Copic markers for a no-line appearance.
- Die cut them out with the coordinating dies.
- Trim a piece of white cardstock to 3″ x 8″.
- Cut reusable stencil material or thin cardstock with the Slimline Clouds Die to form a stencil. Blend several layers of clouds onto the background panel with Sonata ink and a blending brush.
- Stamp a sentiment in the top center of the panel using the Be Wild stamp set and Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink.
- Die cut white cardstock using the Tabbed Birch Trees Die. Add a bit of a shadow to one side using warm grey Copic markers.
- Die cut pink cardstock using the Mixed Flower Stack Die. Take the three smallest flower layers and add a bit of darker pink to the centers with a Copic marker, then shape the petals using a ball stylus.
- Die cut kraft cardstock with the Slimline OPC Squares Die and bright green cardstock with one of the Slimline Grass Dies.
- Cut a few small stems for your flowers out of dark green cardstock using the Leaves and Greenery Die.
- Mat the clouds background with pink cardstock before adhering it to a top-folding slimline-sized white card base with tape runner.
- Adhere the trees and grass on top of the background panel with liquid glue.
- Pop the kraft-colored frame over top using foam adhesive.
- Tuck the flowers into the grass and adhere down with liquid glue.
- Pop the animals up on top using foam adhesive.
I hope you enjoyed this fun slimline card and thanks so much for stopping by. Don’t forget to check out the latest release from Rubbernecker…you’ll find so many beautiful new stamps and dies for all of your spring projects!
