This week I used an image from Laurie Furnell Ink. She generously donated the Autumn Mouse Digital Stamps for the Design Team to use.



For my card, the mouse and the leaves were from the digital stamp set. I colored them in with Copic Markers and then cut each image out.

I covered the A2 card front with pattern paper and layered a panel of paper that I used some Distress Ink to ink blend a sky and some "grass." 

I stamped a small sentiment and adhered the leaves, the mouse and a stamped sunflower to the background. 

To see more information about the challenge and to see the other projects the design team created, hop on over to the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!

New Challenge at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!!!

Hello Crafty Friends!! 

Today is the LAST Cupcake Inspirations Challenge for the year of 2022!! For the next two weeks, it is a theme challenge of "Happy Holidays."

Here is the card I created for Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #559.


And we have a sponsor once again!! This time around it is Laurie Furnell Ink


She generously donated the image that I used to created my card this week.


I chose to use colored pencils to color in the images on my card this week. I know the coloring is not seamless but I wanted a "sketchy" look for this card. I wanted it to look hand drawn.


I also did not use a sentiment on it and this, again, was a design choice. I LOVE how this came out!!!

I hope that you join us for Cupcake Inspirations #559. I cannot wait to see what you create!!!

I thank you for taking the time to stop by. Have a FABULOUS day!!!

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!!!
