I wanted to place these sweet new chicks from this month's release at Papertrey Ink in the middle of lots of blooms to portray spring bursting forth, so I used Into the Blooms II dies along with the nest image from an older stamp set (Hello Pumpkin). I used the Border Bling: Tin Stitch die for the background and sponged Harvest Gold ink along the edges. Nuvo embellishment mousse works well when you add water to a small portion of it on an acrylic block. You can pick it up with a small brush and splatter it onto the background. It gives a hint of sheen without being too glittery.
I stamped the chicks in Harvest Gold then added more dimension by flicking Copic markers (Y11 and YR12) along the edges and at shadowed areas and also on the legs. Prismacolor pencils were used to add details to the flowers. I clear embossed the nest and gold embossed the sentiment.
