Happy Birthday!

 Good morning!

I am so happy to show the new Arched Window in this card!

Isn't it so cute?  Just think of all the things you can do with it.

The other new stamp shown today is the Blessings on St. Patrick's.

Besides those 2 new stamps, I've used several previously 

released stamps to form this scene:

Tall Shamrocks, Vicki's Versatile Background, Peeking Gnome, 

Mushroom Line Background and 4 in 1 Garden Bugs. 

The ovals dies are from Rubbernecker.

The way I did this card (because it takes a little planning) is this:

I stamped the main images in to separate pieces of acetate as well as on my stamp aligner acrylic

square.  I arranged the acetate on my piece of white cardstock to get an

idea of the scene I wanted to create.  This also helped me visualize which

images to stamp first.  I stamped the Gnome and the shamrocks first as they 

are in the foreground.  I then masked the images just stamped and used 

my stamp aligner to to stamp the window, masked and stamped the wood background 

(Vicki's Versatile Background) on top and bottom of the window.  

I stamped the mushrooms which did not need masking.  

Removing all the mask, I used a Copic liner to draw in the tree trunk lines and grass lines. 

(If you are using Copic markers to color you need to use only ink pens 

that will not smudge like the Copic black liner pen).

I hope this helps with making scenes out of multiple stamps such as above.

Stamp the sentiment and die cut.  I also used a bit of Crystal Stickles on the 

Butterfly wings.

My next card was done in the same way as the first

using different stamps of course.

Arched Window, 4 in 1 Garden Bugs, Tree Slice Wood Grain, Sleeping Gnome

Mushroom Line Background, Mushroom Sign Post, Open Leaf Branch

and Tiny Happy Birthday!

This time I stamped the sign and sleeping Gnome first, masked and stamped the 

Mushroom line, masked then stamped the window and masked.

Next I used the aligner to stamp the Tree Slice masked and stamped the "trees" 

multiple times and different heights.  The butterflies were

stamped next and finally the Happy Birthday!

Thank you for visiting today!
