Cheerful Card

Here is another more or less simple card. Not tons of layers of different designer papers anyway :) This stamp is also from Stampavie called Cottage Mouse. The look is similar to yesterday's water color crayon card but this time I used Distress Inks with a water color brush. I used fired brick, weathered wood, wild honey, frayed burlap, crushed olive and tattered rose. I love both products, for me it is easier to blend and get shades with water than with the alcohol pens - Copic type. You don't get the bright vivid look though unless you put on a ton of layers, so it is a softer look. It is also very quick which is just my style. Thanks for looking once again! Have a nice day :)

Mouse with Sunflower

 

Here it is! The new Stampavie Stamp by Tina Wenke "Mouse with Sunflower". It is so adorable, last month when they had their blog hop for her birthday several people used this stamp for their card and I fell in love with it. This card is not a case either! I know, surprise :) I try. I used my new Nestabilities die label 10, it is kind of hard to see since it is red pattern paper on a busy pattern background but one of the reasons I got this die is because it looks so nice with pearls or jewels in the three curves on each end.

So I finally figured out how to add a flower to it (see my last post). I went through all of my Prima flowers and other paper and such flowers and nada. So I punched the flower from the same pattern paper and had this idea to put a tag coming from the brad in the middle. Yes, also original idea! I used Stampin Up chalks to color this image. I haven't used my chalks in a long time and I have never used a water color painter with them. I am quite pleased with how it turned out. The pattern designer paper is K & Co. called Classic K Bailey. Thanks for taking a look!
