Long Stem Cuties!

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE Penny Black stamps??? Are you tired of hearing it? LOL!

When I started this card I intended to make a Mother's Day card. But since my mother has been gone for some time now, I wouldn't have anyone to send it to. So I decided to make it a card for the grands. They simply love getting mail, especially when it's a cute card! Well actually, I do too! :-)

The stamp I used is Penny Black's Long Stem Cuties . I stamped it on watercolor paper using Onyx Black Versafine ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. The stamped image was colored with Tombow (water based) markers and a damp paint brush.

I stamped the image once again and cut out the little mice so I could pop them up with foam tape. I love the added dimension. Someone asked a while back how I cut out my images. I just use good scissors like these . I rarely ever use a craft knife for that purpose.



For the sentiment I used my JustRite Times Roman Upper Case and Times Roman Lowercase fonts. I cut out the sentiment with my Labels One Nestabilities . To embellish, I punched out two hearts then added Ultrafine Transparent Glitter using my Quickie Glue Pen for adhesive.

The designer paper is Urban Prairie by Basic Grey. The cardstock is Prismatics Island Mist Light and Intense Pink . The ribbon is Rose 5/8" Sheer by May Arts.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog today. I hope you all had a great start to your week!
