Thankful for You Card - Karen McKibbin
Hello again! Today I've got a sweet little card using a fairly new stamp set from Paper Rose Studio.
Paper Rose Studio supplies used: Friendship Mouse Clear Stamp 31341, Nesting Hearts Metal Cutting Die 28813, Splat Nesting Metal Cutting Die 19145, Forest Trip 12x12 Paper Collection 26629, All Occasions Sentiments A5 12pc Sentiment Sheets 22339.
Hi there!
I started this card by stamping and colouring in the little mouse image on some white cardstock. I coloured it in with Copic markers and then added a little Nuvo Shimmer pen to the raindrops. Once that was dry, I went over the raindrops with Nuvo Crystal Glaze to give them a wet look.
I just happened to have the Forest Trip papers out on my desk from my last set of cards, and I had a scrap that was perfect for the card front. It had a rather watery look to it. I used the largest of the Splat dies to cut from the center of this paper. I trimmed the paper down to be 5 1/4" x 4" as I wanted to have a white border around my card. I glued the coloured mouse image to the front of the card and then adhered the blue card front on top of it.
I cut three hearts from white cardstock, layered and glued them together, and then attached the sentiment to it in a rather haphazard way. I used the Nuvo Shimmer pen to add some shimmer over the front of the heart. I went around the edges of the heart with a little blue ink to help define the edges. Then I covered the heart with the Nuvo Crystal Glaze. The heart is much whiter in real life and looks more like a puffy embellishment. Once the glaze was dry, I glued the heart in place to the front of my card.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope I have been able to give you a little inspiration today!
Karen.
