Hello everyone!! I hope you are all having a FABULOUS day!!
Today I am a the guest designer for this months Twofer Card Challenge.
This month the challenge is "critters."
I created a birthday card and a Christmas card for my cards. I used a mouse from Hello Bluebirds "Field Mice" as my repeat critter. The mouse on the left is the same mouse but colored in a different color for each card.
Here are the rules for the challenge:
For the birthday card I used Distress Ink in Twisted Citron for the grass and Tumbled Glass for the sky.
All the small details, like the butterfly, hats, flowers and the cupcake are small stamps from different stamp sets that I combed through to make my scene.
The grass was a stencil I created using an MFT die that I had. I used a craft knife to cut into it in two places to tuck the feet of the mice under it.
The finishing touches are using Glossy Accents on the balloon and hats, and Stickles glitter glue in a variety of colors.
For my second card I created a Christmas card.
I layered different patterned papers from Basic Grey and Prima. I added some snowflakes that were "extras" from a previous project that I tucked behind a pre-made Prima tag.
The "Merry" sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp that was another "extra" in my stash, that was already colored in. I used Antique Linen Distress Ink on all the white accents because the background paper was not a true white.
All the little mouse accents, from the cheese "present" to the hat and scarf are from Lawn Fawn.
I have to admit that this IS NOT my favorite card. The mice are a bit too close together on the tag but I had to do it this way because of the size of the tag. It is also busier then I usually make my cards. All in all, it was fun to create but not my usual style.
That is all from me today. I thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. Have a wonderful day!!
