Hello Bluebird October Release!

 

Hi friends! Today is release day as well as the final day of preview over at Hello Bluebird! Release will go live at 7pm MST!

I've included all 3 cards I have created for preview days in this post along with products used and color combos.

Starting with the card I posted today on Instagram, I paired Merry Carolers with the Snowy Countryside Square Scene Die.

Images were colored using a mix of Copics and Ohuhus(O):

White/gray: W5, 3, 1, 00

Browns: E47, 44, 43, 42, 41, 40

Fox orange: YR5(O), BR3(O), E11, 30

Light blue: B02, 00, 000, 0000

Purple: BV12, 01, 00

Blue violet: BV04, 02, B60

For the inkblending, I used Broken China distress oxide for the sky and Speckled egg for the snowy shadows. I also added some Distress Rock Candy glitter at the tops of the hillside.

All images were then propped up on the card front and for final touches, I used a white gel pen to create some snow falling and highlights.

This next card I created for Day 2 of previews.

I paired Penguins on Ice with the Ice Skating Pond Horizontal Scene Die.

Here are the Copics and Ohuhus(O) I used to color these images:

Black: NG07(O), NG06(O), NG03(O)

Gray: W3, 1, 00

Yellow: Y12, YR20

Teal: BG13, 10

Red: R24, 32, 30


For the background, I ink blended the sky and the snow using Tumbled Glass distress oxide. The ice was Speckled Egg and the trees were blended using Antique Linen followed by Tea Dye and Vintage Photo around the edges.


The sentiment is embossed in white on black cardstock and trimmed down. The sentiment and images are propped up using foam tape.

I also stamped out some snowflakes using Tumbled glass and die cut them with coordinating dies. These were adhered directly onto the background.


For final touches I added some falling snow over the trees and background using white watercolor and white gel pen. I also added highlights with the gel pen too.

Finally, here is the card I created for Day 1 of previews.


For this one, I used the stamp set Do the Gobble paired with the Winter Birch Scene Die.


I used the following colors for the images:

Orange: YR14, 12, 20

Red-brown: E33, 11, 30

White: E40

Mouse gray: W3, 1, 00

Pinks: E01, 000

Pear: YG63, 61, R32

Leaves: BG93, 90 and YR24, 20

Trees: E41


The sky is ink blended using Speckled Egg and the ground was inkblended using Scattered Straw. I also added some splatter using the respective colors as well as used water splatter to lift some color.
