Hi
Friends!
I
decided to create a Clean and Simple (CAS) card for LeAnne's #362 “CAS Harvest” Challenge at The Paper Players using the Harvest Mouse stamp set from My Favorite Things™
(MFT).
I already had a few of the mouse images along with the pumpkins, etc. stamped and colored in my stash so I decided to pull them out and create this quick card.
I
also incorporated the CAS(E) This Sketch #240 Challenge into the design and
along with the AAA Cards Game #99 “Autumn Colours” .
I
hope you have taken the time to visit each of the challenge sites listed above,
and if not, I encourage you to do so- gorgeous inspiration from all!
To
create this card:
1).
Ink the Harvest Mouse images with Versafine™ Onyx Black Ink and stamp onto
Whisper White cardstock. Heat set the
ink (I usually do this to speed up the drying process) and color the images
with water-based and alcohol markers.
2).
Score a piece of Whisper White cardstock (for the angles on the sketch),
de-static the paper with an embossing powder tool, stamp the sentiment with Versafine™
Onyx Black Ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.
3).
Trim a piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock, adhere the embossed card front to the
panel and mount the entire panel onto a white card base.
4).
Die cut the Harvest Mouse images with the coordinating MFT Harvest Mouse dies, mount onto the
card front with dimensional foam and add a few blue sequins to finish off the
card.

I don't usually expect to see CAS in your work Julie but I see that your trademark beautiful colouring is still on show! I really like the way you've made the diagonals of the sketch into subtle score lines. It lets that bright mouse and his hoard be the star of the card. Thank you so much for joining us at The Paper Players this week.
Super sweet take on the sketch!
Beautifully crisp and I love how you've used embossing and kept your card CAS. Thanks for joining in with the current AAA Cards Challenge.
Super cute way to use this challenging sketch, Julie!! And I am glad you decided to play with my CAS challenge, too! These little mice are some of my favorites! Thanks for sharing them with us this week!
I love that cute little mouse with the pumpkin, one of my favorite images for autumn though this set remains on my wish list! Thanks for sharing with us at The Paper Players, Julie!
