Hi
Friends!
Today
I am sharing a card designed with the Harvest Mouse stamp set from My Favorite
Things™.
I have owned this stamp set for
quite a while but this is the first time I had a chance to create a card- I
just love the sweet mouse images with the sentiments in this fun set, don’t
you?
I
incorporated the MFT #344 Sketch Challenge along with The Paper Players #356 “TheGreat Outdoors” Challenge and the Just Add Ink #371 “Just Choose Two” into
the design (I chose Pets and Designer Paper). 
Personally, I have two cats but mice are sometimes pets as well, right? Just not in my house- onfortunately, they would be "dinner" for my kitties :-)
If
you have not had a chance to check out the above challenges yet, I hope you
will find the time to do so- fabulous inspiration from all!
To
create this card:
1).
Using the Big Shot™ with the MFT Blueprints #13 Die (stitched frame), die cut a
piece of plaid designer paper with just the bottom portion of the die.
2).
Use the scalloped frame die from the MFT Blueprints 20 Die to die cut a piece
of white cardstock. Layer the two
together and trim to fit the 4 ¼” x 5 ½” card base.
3).
Trim the piece of coordinating designer paper to mount onto the gray card base
and layer the designer series paper panel per the sketch. Add a few vertical strips of scraps layered
onto gray cardstock for the remainder of the sketch layout.
4).
Use the MFT Harvest Mouse dies to cut out pieces from white cardstock and stamp
the coordinating MFT Harvest Mouse images using the Versafine™ Onyx Black Ink
(heat with a heat tool).
5).
Use a combination of alcohol and water-based markers to color the images.
6).
Die cut the banner for the sentiment from white cardstock using the MFT
Blueprints 20 Die, stamp the sentiment using Versafine™ Onyx Black Ink and heat
set with a heat tool.
7). Finish off the card by adding the button with the twine to the sentiment and layering all of the pieces onto the card front with dimensional foam. For the eye, use a small pin to add a bit of Gloss Black Nuvo

ReplyDeleteJulie this is adorable! I love your little mouse among all this bright autumn leaves, such lovely colours against the patterned paper. Thanks for joining at Just Add Ink this week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet mouse peeking out from the autumn leaves Julie - paired beautifully with the plaid background paper too. Not sure I'd want a pet mouse, but this one is cute! Thanks for joining us over at The Paper Players this week!
