Hello, friends! Justin here from Just a Note By Justin and today I am sharing a card that is FILLED with Baby Critters! I thought it would be fun to have the Baby Critters set into the little cut outs of the A2 Saying Hello Cover Die.

Here is a list of Picket Fence Studios Products that I used to create this card:

Baby Critters Stamp Set
Baby Critters Coordinating Dies
Saying Hello A2 Cover Die
Hello to You Word Die Set
Rainbow Dreams 6x8 Stencil
Light Speed Gem Mix
Liquid Forest Green Paper Splatter Watercolor

Let's get into the details of how I put this card together.

I started off my card by coloring up all of my images from the Baby Critters Stamp Set with Copic Markers, and then using the coordinating dies to cut them out. I set them aside for later.

Next, using the Hello to You Word Die Set, I cut out the "hello" die 3 times, and stacked the die by adhering the layers directly on top of each other. I set this unit aside for later as well.

I then die cut the Saying Hello A2 Cover Die from tan cardstock. I ink-blended this panel HEAVILY with Brushed Corduroy, Vintage Photo and Ground Espresso Distress Oxide Inks. I then splattered the panel with some water to get bleach spots and splattered with residual oxide inks that was already on my glass mat. I set my panel aside to dry.

Using some of the cut outs of the small rectangles as references, I trimmed down (9) rectangles from white blending cardstock that are slightly larger than the rectangle cut outs. I blended the cut outs with (3) different color palettes, using the Rainbow Dreams 6x8 Stencil:

Blend One: Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Base, Pine Needles Distress Oxide over stencil
Blend Two: Crushed Olive  Distress Oxide Base, Forest Moss Distress Oxide over stencil

Blend Three: Tea Dye Distress Oxide Base, Walnut Stain Distress Oxide over stencil

I also splattered each of the panels with water and Forest Green Paper Splatter Watercolor.

Once my Saying Hello die cut was dry, I cut some strips of tan cardstock and lined the back of the panel wherever there were perforation holes. This helped cover up any imperfect behind the scenes happenings. I then adhere the Rainbow Dreams stenciled rectangles behind each of the cut outs to create different little windows.

I then began adhering my "hello" die cut, along with my Baby Critters in each of the cut outs! I finished off my card by adhering a few Speed of Light gems, and adhering my card to an A2-sized card base!
