Good Morning everyone
Time for a new challenge over at We Love Stamping where the theme this month is
CUTE
So right out of my comfort zone , if cute is not for you, you can always go with the anything goes option as long as you use stamping
Looking through my stamps I don't have many that are cute, but found this cute mouse image that a friend had stamped and sent to me which is called Ballerina Mouse by Pink Ink designs. I thought it would be ok for my niece Charlottes birthday.
6x6" card which I made from acetate. After colouring the mouse with alcohol markers i went searching for a paper and found this one with rainbow tones which also picked out the pinks, purples and blues in the colouring. I folded it and adhered inside the acetate card so that is shows through.
I die cut a frame from teal and white card and added to the front with foam tape, i die cut circles from the same colours and adhered flat in the middle, to this I added the mouse on a 'wobbler' so she dances around. I then computer printed the sentiments die cut into fishtail banners and added to the front with glue gel.
2 pink glossy hearts added to the sentiments and glitter glue added to the wings to finish.
(After finishing and looking at it a while I realised that if I had thought it through I would have cut the backing paper so the circles were more even on each side.... which I could have done as it was a 12x12 paper but Im sure my niece won't even notice that)
The wobbler gives lots of dimension
Whenever I make an acetate card and added a paper insert, i will always add the frames and such to the front first as i then add the glue behind these to hold the insert in place, therefore no glue shows through the acetate.
Charlotte decided she wanted a recorder for her birthday so we all needed ear plugs! lol
