Time for a New Challenge at Cupcake Inspirations!!!

 Hi everyone!! Today I am popping in with a card I created for the new Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #524-Balloons. 

I used a digital stamp from Laurie Furnill Ink on Etsy. She generously donated to "The Sweeties" her Animal Digital Stamps to play with this round. 

To be honest, I had NEVER used a digital stamp before. It was a learning curve for me because you can resize them so you can add more than one a card. Since I wanted to do some detail coloring, I chose to only use one of the images on my card.

I used Copic markers in the warm grays (W00-W04) to color in my mouse. I did a dot technique to give her fur some texture. Below is the inspiration photo. I did not choose to use the colors as my inspiration but the theme.

The sky was created using a stencil and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. 

The sentiment is from my stash. I altered it because I wanted something smaller for my card. Again, if I had more experience with using the digital stamp, I could have moved the adorable mouse over to use a more dynamic sentiment.

I layered the mouse over some colored cardstock that matched some of the colors I used for her outfit. I also chose to use some Glossy Accents over the pink balloon to give it some shine. 

This card was a lot of fun to make and I will definatly be playing around with digital stamps in the future. Be sure to check out the Cupcake Inspirations Blog to find out how to be eligible to win some images from Laurie Furnell Ink as well as to see some fabulous projects designed by the other design team members.

That is all from me today. I want to thank you for taking the time to stop by!!! Have a FABULOUS day!!!
