Hi everyone. I hope you are enjoying all the inspiration yesterday and today using the fiesta-themed April My Monthly Hero Kit. For my card today I decided to do a "not standard" size card - 4 1/2" square. I started by creating a template from vellum measuring 4"x4" by drawing 2 lines diagonally and then another 2 through the center (1 vertical and 1 horizontal). I then used this template to stamp the flowers and flourish in a perfect circle using Intense Black ink onto a 4" square piece of alcohol friendly white card stock. Once I was done with the stamping I used Copic markers to color the flowers. I added a vellum overlay on top in order to soften the look of the panel, so when I add the main image on top, the focus is not on the background, but the main image.
I stamped the banner and the little dancing mouse, again using Intense Black ink and colored them using Copic markers. Cut them out and using foam adhesive adhered onto the panel. Lastly, I trimmed a Pool folded notecard down to 4 1/4" and adhered my panel onto it and added some Crystal Lacquer onto the flowers on the mouse's head.
I hope you enjoyed today's peeks and come back tomorrow for more inspiration and ideas. Don't forget to comment for a chance to win a kit before it launches!
What a great card design and that mouse is so sweet!
Many thanks for the reminder of the drama of vellum. She is such a pretty little mouse. . I could make an anniversary card and pair her with a Zorro mouse. He would only need a little black marker mask. gracias.
Isn’t she just gorgeous? I know just the person I would make a card for with her as the focal point.
So pretty! Love the colors and how you did the background. Like the effect of putting vellum over the background – gives it a dreamy look. Thank you for the chance to win!!
Beautiful card! Love the colors, the mouse, all of it!!
Love your color choices, great card!
So pretty and fun – love the vellum, something I am just starting to play with.
I love this card! I was 75% for this kit and this card sealed the deal!
I am loving this Latin American theme! Thank you, Hero Arts!!
The little mouse is so cute. Love this card.
