You can find this card right here on the Your Next Stamp blog!
For this sweet A2 card I pulled a background panel out of my stash that has a lot of shimmer and is done in blues and oranges and just made me think of spring. That little mouse holding the flowers from the YNS Flowers and Smiles set, said ‘use me please’, so of course I had to. The sentiments are also from the same stamp set. I used pigment ink on the banel so that it would give a crisp image on the mix of mediums. The image is coloured with my Ohuhu Alcohol Markers, then cropped down and matted on black cardstock. I love to mat something this bright on black as it just makes the colours really pop. Sat sideways on a coral background attached to the cardbase I added some YNS pop dots behind the Sweet Friend sentiment and some sparkly YNS gumdrops for the finishing touches.
I hope this card makes you smile !
One of the things I love to do when I hit a creative blank, is to get out my messy stuff and make oooooodles of backgrounds. Then when I have a project in mind or just the urge to create, I have lots of inspiration at my fingertips! This panel came from a session of smooshing inks and mica powders. Though I had some doubt when I started, I am very happy with the end result. One thing I’ve really learned in the last few years is that in the end it’s just paper! And that learning and trying is half the fun, so keep going because you never know what you’ll find you love doing and may even be pretty good at!!
I hope you like this project and that it makes you smile and feel inspired to try something new today! Cheers! Kim
