My Favorite Things - Color Challenge 165

We have another Color Challenge #165 for you at My Favorite Things and I hope you will play along for a chance to win a $50 gift voucher!  Here is my inspiration card and find below it the colour palette you'll be working with.

To create my card I first grabbed a panel of white cardstock and I used Washi tape to tape off a line.   I used Jalapeño Popper and Prickly Pear Premium Dye Inks to ink blend above the washi line.  I splattered the ink with water and blotted up to create some interest.  I carefully removed the washi tape and I centred and stamped the sentiment from Mice Day below the line using my Misti.

I used the A2 Stitched Rectangles STAX to trim down this panel and give it the faux stitched edge.

On Copic friendly cardstock the characters I needed from Mice Day were stamped and I used Copic markers to colour everything using the limited colour palette.   I used the low number W Copics to delicately colour the mice since I wanted them to be white mice so all they needed was some subtle shadow detail but of course a little blush on the cheeks and in the ears was necessary.

I used the coordinating Die-namics to die cut my images.  Points were highlighted with a white gel pen and then they were backed with dimensional foam tape and applied to the background.

To finish I just adhered 4 sparkling clear sequins in two different sizes.   The decorative panel was then adhered directly to an A2 panel of Jalapeño Popper Prestige Cardstock which nicely framed the scene with a beautiful deep green.  This in turn was attached to a sturdy white cardstock base.   Card complete!

I hope you choose to join in for a chance to win!  Happy crafting and the best of luck to you!

My Favorite Things - Wednesday Sketch Challenge #538

Welcome to my blog everyone!  My Favorite Things has a brand new Wednesday Sketch Challenge #538 and here I am sharing my card to help inspire you in the hope that you join in the fun and enter your project for a chance to win a $50 gift voucher.

To create my card I used Poppin' Pink Premium Dye Ink and the Lined By Hand background stamp to create a panel slightly smaller than my 5 x 5 inch card base.   This panel was backed with white craft foam and applied to the base.

I used the Inside & Out Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics and die cut 3 sizes to suit the sketch.   I also prepared a strip of Cotton Candy cardstock and repeat stamped HAPPY BIRTHDAY from the Mice Day stamp set using Versamark Ink and heat embossed in white.

I backed the circles and the sentiment strip with foam tape and applied them to the background.

I took some Copic friendly cardstock and stamped 3 of the images from Mice Day.   I coloured them with the following Copic markers:-

Mice:  E0000, E40, E41, E42, W4, W2 and R00 and R20 for the cheeks and ears and feet.

Candles, Cake and Hats:  Y21, Y23, Y17, RV02, FRV1, G00, BG34, R000 and W0, W2, W3

Images were die-cut using the coordinating Die-namics.

Points were highlighted with a white gel pen and then the cupcake was applied with a single layer of dimensional foam tape and the mice were applied with two!

To finish up and to make it such a fun card, I randomly applied some glue to the icing on the cupcake and sprinkled on some colourful embellishments and I tapped off the excess.  Messy ..... but worth it!  You could use all number of different glitters or shaker fillers to elevate your cupcake to the next level!!

So that is my completed card and I look forward to seeing what you all create.  Happy crafting!
