Lavinia Stamps Dancing Mice Birthday Card

 

This will be my final make before I pack up my crafting things for moving house.  The move date has not yet been confirmed, but I need to get ready.  I'm likely to be not properly crafting for a couple of months.  However, I am well ahead on the tag challenge, having made tags up to mid March, so those posts are scheduled on here and will pop up each Sunday morning.

For this card, I started with the Inkylicious Mini Splatter Circle, using two shades of Distress Oxide Inks:  Kitsch Flamingo and Abandoned Coral ink.

I used Versafine Clair "Morning Mist" grey ink to stamp the Lavinia Stamps "Musical Notes" using both the small and large stamp set.

I then used Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink to stamp the dancing mice, using the Lavinia "Basil and Bibi" and "Tilly and Tango" stamp set.

Finally, I stamped the "Happy Birthday" greeting, part of the Lawn Fawn "Simply Sentiments" stamp set, stamped in Versafine Clair "Nocturne" black ink.

Week 36 - 52 Week Mini Art Card / Tag Challenge 2019

The prompt for Week 36 is "Meadow Life" - create your tag based on what you may see in a meadow.

I started my tag by swooshing a plain white tag through two shades of Distress Oxide Inks - Twisted Citron and Tumbled Glass.

I then used Distress Oxide Ink called "Peeled Paint", through a That's Crafty "Mini Fern Stencil".

I used an Inkylicious "Mini Splatter Circle" stamp with Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze" ink t create the background behind the rabbit.

I then stamped the Aall & Create "Rabbit #224" using Brown Versafine Clair in an "Acorn" shade of ink over the splatter.  I then stamped the same image on an off-cut of plain white card.

I painted the colours on the rabbit image using Distress Oxide "Vintage Photo" and "Spun Sugar" shades of ink.  I then cut around the edges and adhered the image over the one stamped on the tag.  I coloured the flowers using Sakura Gelly Roll pens.

I stamped the Visible Image word "Tranquility", part of the "Random Art of Kindness" stamp set in Versafine Clair "Warm Breeze".  I used the same ink to colour the edges of the tag.

Finally using a small flower punch, I punch cut the flowers in various colours and adhered below the rabbit.  I added a little pattern to the flowers and also added some white dots to the circle splatter using a white Signo Pen.  Using a tiny daisy stamp, part of a Papertrey Ink stamp set, I added some red and yellow flowers to the background.
