Hello

This card mixes and matches new Penny Black goodies with some older ones. The lovely hedgie sitting on his flower is from a previously released stamp set called Wonderful Day and I wanted to pair that with the die cut sentiment which is a new die from the current release.

I coloured the image with my Karin markers and fussy cut it out. I then die cut the word 'hello' using the new Hello Edger die (without the edger part) and used it as the stem of the flower. I created the background by masking the edges of the panel and sponging some Distress Oxide inks in Mermaid Lagoon and Peeled Paint onto the panel. Then I stamped the grass part of the rectangle with a stamp from Footnotes stamp set and splattered the panel with some water and Distress ink in Vintage Photo. I adhered the die cut 'hello' to the panel and stamped the words 'my friend' with a stamp from the new Hello Builder stamp set before adhering the hedgie with some foam adhesives. Lastly, I die cut the little butterfly with Soaring die, adhered it in place and embellished it with a sticky back pearl.
