Sending a Little Message Card




The challenge is to use a pencil, pen, or craft image on your project.

Using the Stampin' Up! Mischievous Mice & Bottled Happiness Stamp Sets along with Hello, Irresistible DSP, I created my "Sending a Little Message" card.

For my card base, I used Basic White cardstock, followed by a layer of Hello, Irresistible DSP.

The sentiment is from Bottled Happiness Stamp set, stamped using Pretty Peacock ink.
The Loose Frosted Dots matched perfectly with my card layout.

The cute little mouse image was stamped using Memento ink and colored using Gray Granite, Daffodil Delight, Petal Pink, Bronze & Natural Tones Stampin' Blends Markers.

I lightly shaded around the edges of the Basic White with Pretty Peacock and a Blending Brush, adhered onto a slightly larger piece of DSP and adhered with dimensionals.

The leaves were fussy cut from the DSP and tucked behind the mat image.

Wink of Stella was added on the pencil for a little sparkle and shine.

I also cut a small piece of Basic White cardstock, added some lines for a border along one edge and scribbled lines to look like a message.
Next, I distressed it by folding and crinkling it to make it look worn, and adhered with liquid adhesive.

DSP was also added on the envelope flap.

Inside my card is a layer of Basic White with a 3/4" strip of DSP along the right edge.
