I used tea dye &amp; gathered twigs for the tree trunk, bundled sage, mowed lawn &amp; spiced marmalade for the leaf area of the tree, I used the same greens for the grass &amp; then speckled egg &amp; stormy sky for the sky area. I used water &amp; the darker of the greens &amp; blues to create some splatter detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.3-3.png\" alt=\"Handmand autumnal card featuring cute squirrel &amp; bunny. \" class=\"wp-image-582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.3-3.png 1000w, https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.3-3-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.3-3-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.3-3-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst my scene pieces were drying I stamped &amp; coloured the images I had chosen to use with my Faber Castell Polychromos, trying to keep a similar colour palette. I used a Sakura Glaze pen on the eyes of my mouse &amp; squirrel &amp; also the squirrels nose to give them some shine and dimension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once all the scene pieces were dry I assembled then together straight onto my card base, I did cut a second scene so that I could double up just the white border. It was very easy to pop all the bits together, much like a small puzzle! The log, squirrel, bunny and one of the leaf piles are stuck with foam squares to give some dimension, the rest are stuck directly to the panel. The sentiment is also from the same stamp set. I have added some Lovecraft glitter glue to each of the leaves to give some sparkle. I have stamped another critter and sentiment on the inside along a super cute fox on the blue envelope which closely matches the card base colour. I think it turned out pretty cute!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.5-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"Autumnal handmade birthday card featuring woodland animals. \" class=\"wp-image-584\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.5-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.5-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.5-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.5-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.5-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.5-2048x2048.png 2048w, https:\/\/thebeestudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Blog2.5-1180x1180.png 1180w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for stopping by, I have listed my supplies below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supplies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hello Bluebird \u2013Fall Cleanup Crew &amp; Dies (September 2024 Expanded Card Kit)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hello Bluebird \u2013 Oak Tree Scene\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Distress Oxide Ink \u2013 Speckled Egg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Distress Oxide Ink \u2013 Stormy Sky<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Distress Oxide Ink \u2013 Bundled Sage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Distress Oxide Ink \u2013 Mowed Lawn<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Distress Oxide Ink \u2013 Spiced Marmalade<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Distress Oxide Ink \u2013 Tea Dye<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Distress Oxide Ink \u2013 Gathered Twiggs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paper Mill Direct \u2013 Pro Design 300gsm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Paper Mill Direct \u2013 Marine Blue Smooth 240gsm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Versafine Onyx Black Ink<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Faber Castel Polychromos Colouring Pencils<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gamblin \u2013 Gamsol<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sakura Black Glaze Pen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dovecraft \u2013 Crystal Glitter Glue<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Envelopes.co.uk \u2013 C6 Pale Blue Envelopes 120gsm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I created this card using one of the gorgeous sets from the September 2024 extended kit from Hello Bluebird.
