Hello Bella friends!

Amy here with another Scenic Saturday card to share and this week I wanted to create an Easter card using the delightful new Little Bo Peep Oddball. Because I knew that I wanted her to have more than one sheep grazing around her I went ahead and cut the sheep separate from Bo Peep on the stamp itself, now I have two stamps and can easily add the wooly cutie to other scenes down the road. This also allowed me to use the sheep with a flat mirror stamp and ‘flip’ one to face the opposite direction.  After masking off Bo Peep I also added the Summer Backdrop to help set the rolling hillside pastoral scene that I was after. Because the backdrop stamp is longer and extends beyond the edges of a vertical A2 sized card I would have lost the smaller tree if I stamped it as is. Instead I stamped it twice, once from the big tree to where the line disappeared behind my masked Bo Peep, then I cleaned it, shifted it over and stamped again from the little tree to where the line disappeared behind her. This creates the illusion of a seamless background with very minimal effort. Then I just finished it all off with a simple sentiment from the new Easter Sentiment set and I had a perfectly quirky and charming card for the holiday. I don’t know about you but I think it looks like Bo could use a chocolate bunny or two… LOL!

Have a crafty weekend!
