I created this card last week for my post over on the Stampavie blog, but haven't had a chance to share it here yet. Stampavie has so many adorable stamps that I always have a hard time choosing which image to use next. I’ve been using a lot of stamps lately from the Spring/Summer 2011 collection so I decided to pull out one of the older stamps that I haven’t had a chance to use yet. I finally decided on this adorable image from Tina Wenke called Mice Kissing.
I just love this image! I stamped the image on copic x-press it cardstock with tuxedo black memento ink. I paired the image with some patterned papers from Jillibean Soup’s Blossom Soup paper pad and colored it with copic markers. I die cut my image with a Labels 8 nestability die and added lots of stitching. I used a sentiment from Verve Stamps' Love Notes stamp set.
Have a wonderful day!
