Well I know by cracky this mouse heard it, look at those ears? Isn't he cute? Carrying those balloons, taking them over to his friends house, they have been feeling kinda ucky, it's the cold and flu season you know, and lots of germs have been going around…so this is my 14th day locked in the house…ok just kidding. I have been busy at home, but I do go out from time to time.
Digital Stamp: Birthday Balloons
Rubber Stamp: Itty Bitty Backgrounds, A True Friend
Paper: Whisper White, Basic Gray, Urban Garden DSP, Georgia Pacific
Ink: Copic markers, Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, Close to Cocoa, Memento Black, white craft ink
Misc: Sewing machine, corduroy buttons, word window punch, sponges, scallop circle punch for cloud stencil, textured plate
TIP: If you punch the scallop circle punch use it as a stencil to make the image of a cloud. First sponge your sky lightly all over. Then using the scallop punch, lay it on your paper, and sponge ink on the edges brushing the ink out, and this will leave the scallop shape and they look like clouds…you can see this in the sky…neat-o!
I used the Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps sketch that is over at Paper Craft Planet. I lovvve sketches!
You should try it out, this one was fun with all the different layers and the embellishments.
It is kinda like a puzzle really once you get going.
It is totally just for inspiration, see the little dots on the top corner? That could be anything..brads, buttons, eyelets, gee you could even put two staples, whatever you find laying around on your stamp table…ha!
TIP: I used the textured plate on the Baja Breeze cardstock, and to make it stand out more, I brushed it lightly with white craft ink using a sponge, after I textured it.
Anyway back to the cute mouse, this is one of the new Digital Stamps by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps, what you do is you order the digital image, you download it and then you have it to use whenever you want. Cool huh?
You can resize and even mirror images with your photo editing software.
