Hello everyone: I'm rushing to have this card finished to enter a few challenges.
It's been a bit of a busy morning, I had to do a water change on my 75 gals. marine tank, clean the filter, windows inside and out and clean up my kitchen after all of this is done.
I've been itching to ink up these adorable mice from the SU set called "Sweet Storybook" from the 2018-2019 annual catalog for a long time but you know how it goes....you buy a stamp set, it arrives and then.....you put it away on a designated place in your craft room and, well....you forget you have it until you find it again and you wonder why it's been neglected.
But anywho, I love these pair of friends and the fabulous "Amanita Muscaria" or
"Fly Agaric" mushroom in the background.
I stamped all the images on white card stock, color them with my Prismacolor pencils, put a bit of painter's tape behind the mice tails to make them a bit sturdier and fussy cut them.
I stamped a bit of grass to give the mice something to stand on, using the bottom of the Mallard Duck in the retired Stampin' Up! set called "Wilderness Awaits", the sign and the sentiment are from Purple Onion, and the balloons, string, and bows are from the retired SU die set called "Balloon Pup-Up".
*********************************************************
This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.
The border is from a SU set called "Bordering Blooms", the sentiment from a Power Poppy set called "Sassy Succulents" and the little mushroom in the corner from another Power Poppy set called "Natural Beauties".
I'm playing along with the following challenges.
Your favorite animal and why.
I really love all animals but mice are just so adorable, I see them outside my kitchen window, going back and forth from the bird feeders, no matter the weather. I wouldn't want them inside my house though, they belong outdoors.
Clean and Simple.
Thank you for visiting me today.
Hugs.
Maria.
