Stampavie offers so many adorable images. I know there was just a release with lots of great Christmas and fall images, but I still have lots of the previously released images that I haven't had a chance to use yet. For my card today, I decided to pull out the Mouse in a Tea Cup image from Tina Wenke.
I stamped the image on copic x-press it cardstock with tuxedo black memento ink and colored it with copic markers. I used these markers: B00, B02, Y35, Y38, YG63, YG67, R20, R22, R24, R46, R89, W3, W5, W7, T3, B000, B000, B00, colorless blender. I used some patterned papers from October Afternoon's Modern Homemaker paper pad and sponged some antique linen, tea dye, and walnut stain distress inks on the edges of my image, patterned papers, and sentiment. Then, I stitched my layers and added some flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts (2 tone antique blue cherry blossoms, 2 tone pale blue sweetheart blossoms, white gypsophila). The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps' Everyday Mini Postage stamp set.
Have a great day!
Niki
