Picnic Mice

The latest edition of Crafts Beautiful is now on and sale and my card features on the front cover! I know I am lucky that it is a often occurrence for me but I am still ever so grateful for when it does happen. I still do a little happy dance when I first see them on the cover - yay!

For this card I used Hello Bluebird Strawberry Jam Stamps. It comes with so many accessories, florals and of course super cute mice, what's not to love?! I coloured them all in with Copic Pens and cut them out. I created a subtle blended background using some Distress Oxide Inks Tumbled Glass. I layered patterned paper onto card, added my printed sentiment and gems to finish.

Supplies;

Hello Bluebird Stamps - Strawberry Jam

Distress Oxide Inks - Tumbled Glass

Copic Marker Pens

Patterned Paper

Coloured Card

Adhesive Gems

I hope to share more creations with you soon.

So sorry for the lack of posts lately! I've been working on a mass load of cards that I making for a charity that is very close to my heart and a great support to me. I had to make 250 cards and I have finally finished them, hurrah. Definitely a labour of love as they say! It does mean I can now go back to crafting and crafting for me too which is much needed right now with all these fab new products out! Sorry for rambling!! Right anyway onto today's card...

This one was featured in Crafts Beautiful Magazine. I had such fun making this one and as you may have noticed I love creating scenes at the moment.

The grass is from the Mushroom Border Set and the road is Simple Road Border. I used my MFT Cloud Stencil to create the background along with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. The sentiments are from Hello Bluebird Spring Script Stamp Set.

I created an embossed background using a XCut Hearts Embossing Folder. The stamped sentiment is also from the same stamp set. I added some Nuvo Drops to finish.
