Shoe Girls Cards

 

SC1105 - this week's sketch on splitcoaststampers.com

For this card, I started with a piece of dictionary paper for the background, layering it on red cardstock and then on a black card base for contrast.

I stamped the House Mouse image, colored it with Copics, trimmed the panel, and layered it on a black frame to anchor the illustration.

The card is finished with several dimensional stickers I received for Christmas, adding a playful touch to the design.

F4A837 - Spring Flowers

MIX684 - Spring Flowers

For my card today, I started with this adorable House Mouse image, colored it with Copics, and trimmed the panel, with a die cut so the sentiment sits neatly beneath the image. I layered it on a soft purple to bring out the shading.

I added a piece of handmade paper from my stash, a textured sheet my MIL picked up for me from an art store that closed a few years ago. Its surface adds so much interest. I layered it on more purple cardstock, then set everything over a green designer paper and a coordinating purple card base.

I finished the card with a few purple pearls for a simple, polished touch.
