Enjoy the Little Moments in Life Card by March Guest Designer Jane Trivedi


Hi crafty friends!  Jane here today sharing another card using these adorable mice from the Garden Mice Stamp Set by Newton’s Nook Designs. To create this card, I used a variety of art mediums on Bristol smooth cardstock.

To start, I stamped the image of the mouse under the mushroom using Versafine clair ink in the color acorn. Then, I stamped the image on masking paper and cut it out using scissors. I stamped and masked all the images in a similar manner. Next, I used distress oxide inks in picked raspberry, spun sugar, milled lavender and broken china to blend the background. The background was then splattered with water using a thin paint brush.

After dabbing off the excess water using a dry paper towel, I removed the masks.  The images were then colored using zig clean color brush pens and accented using Inktense pencils and a white gel pen.  The background grass was filled in by using flicks of my zig pens, Inktense pencils and a white gel pen.  Distress oxide ink in twisted citron was also used to fill in the white space at the bottom of the card, but I did leave a small area of white space for the sentiment.

The sentiment was stamped using the Garden Mice Sstamp Set in versamark black ink.  After the panel was dry, I cut the card down to 3.75 inches by 5 inches and mounted it on a white A2 card base.  And that completes the card!

I hope this card inspires you to pull out different art mediums from your stash and mix them together for a unique and fun look to your projects! 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
