MFT Stamps | Vault Countdown - Day 1

Are you ready for another incredible day of previews?

This is the second of the three giant vaults that will bring the entire Birdie Brown line back to shop!

The Vault has opened and those are the sets (stamps and dies) that are featured in the DT creations today:

• Ewe Are the Best

• Happy Hedgehogs

• Happy Hippos

• Friends at First Sip

Aren't you excited? The Vault will open on August, 17th at 10am EDT

This is my inspiration, that features Happy Hedgehogs stamp set.

Those hedgehogs are my absolutely favorite!

I was inspired to create a one layer card, drawing a fall scene around them.

I firstly stamped the two hedgehogs on a piece of Transotype Perfect Coloring Paper using some Memento Rich Cocoa ink pad: I didn't want a no-line look but I wanted softer edges than black lines . I started from a 6"x4,5" piece of paper, I always love to start from a bigger piece of paper and then cut it.

I then drew all the background: I went for simple shapes as learned in the "Storybook Scenes" class by Sandy Allnock. I colored everything using copics, especially earth, red and yellow-red tones (you can find a complete list below). I really love fall colors! I didn't shade them so much, because I knew I would have added details and textures with both copics and pencils.

I added dots and lines to the bushes and ground until I wans't happy with the result and then cut the panel to a 5,5"x4,25" size.

I stamped the sentiment in the centre top portion, using Milk Chocolate premium dye ink.

As a finishing touch, I added a slightly larger piece of Milk Chocolate cardstock, in order to create a brown frame to my scene.

Thanks for stopping by, I really hope you will like the final result!
