Welcome everyone! It’s time for Mix it up Monday with Doodlebugs! Still in my Valentine vibe and every time Lawn Fawn comes out with more cute mice, I must play with them! I just adore their little stances and cute faces!
Today’s card started by stamping all the images from the Lawn Fawn Valentine Mice set and coloring with copic markers. This is a mid-size set so it’s great for your pocket book but complete enough to use it on projects on its own too. I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out and set it aside to figure out my background.
While I was digging around for a stencil or embossing folder for my background, I remembered these awesome Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Heart dies from last year and thought they would be perfect! So I started cutting them from all my red and pink scraps. Then, because it’s me, I didn’t want a plain background so I spritzed distress sprays on a piece of white cardstock to add color and texture at the same time. Then I glued my hearts directly to that.
Then I added foam squares to the back of my mice and the mini sentiment that amazingly has a coordinating die to it and placed them in different areas of the card. Triangles are appealing to the eye so I keep that in mind when positioning focal points.
Last, I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from the Valentine Mice stamp set and trimmed it into a couple of sentiment strips. These are popped up with foam strips. Then I finished the design off with a touch of glossy accents on mouse noses and the baby hearts.
Status check, have you created anything Valentine themed yet???
