Hello Crafty Friends! I'm on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog today with a fall themed card featuring the absolutely adorable Harvest Mice. I absolutely adore these super cute mice. This fun set comes with so many harvest themed accessories: pumpkins, corn, corn stalk, apples and even the cutest little sweater for the sweater weather season.
I started by creating the layout. I used 3 pieces of cardstock: Bristol Smooth (3.75" x 4.75"), white (4" x 5.25"), and kraft (4.25" x 5.5"). I cut the Bristol Smooth cardstock in half to create two scenes for my card. I used the Slimline Nature Borders Dies to diecut a piece of clear acetate to make my own cloud stencil. I used my homemade stencil, Dried Marigold, Carved Pumpkin, Ripe Persimmon and Shabby Shutters Distress Oxide inks to ink blend the backgrounds for the two scenes. For the bottom scene, I also used the Shabby Shutters Distress Oxide ink to stamp some corn stalks from the Harvest Mice Stamp set onto the background. I adhered the white and kraft colored panels to each other. A piece of craft foam was added to the back of each of the two scenes before they were adhered to the white and kraft panels.
I stamped the images from the Harvest Mice Stamps and a couple of the larger pumpkins from the Too Cute to Spook Stamps sets onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating Harvest Mice Dies, and Too Cute to Spook Dies to diecut them out. I colored them with Copic markers and highlighted them with a white gel pen.
COPIC COLORS:
Mice: E50/51/53/33/35, R000/20, E35
Pumpkins: Y17/38 YR04/07, YG03
Corn: Y13/08, YG01/03
Sweater: BG10/53/45
Wagon: R22/24/29, C1, T7
Wheelbarrow: E41/42/43/44
For the sentiment, I used one of the banner dies from the Stitched Rectangles Dies set to diecut a sentiment strip out of kraft cardstock. I stamped the "pumpkin kisses & harvest wishes" sentiment from the Harvest Mice Stamp set onto it with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I adhered the sentiment strip and colored images onto the inked panel with a combination of liquid glue and foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest. The panel was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25" x 5.5").
I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my card. For more info and ideas, be sure to visit the Sunny Studio Stamps Shop. Please also visit my INSTAGRAM feed for more inspirations.
