I was so excited to get the Harvest Mouse My Favorite Things Stamp and Die set in the mail. I won a gift card from them a while back (random draw!) and finally took advantage of a sale to snag this utterly adorable set. I was using both a color challenge and a sketch challenge to guide me into a design.
I stamped with Versafine Black Ink on watercolor paper and heat set it for just a few seconds. Then I used my dear Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers along with a tiny paint brush dipped in water to color in the image. The inside of the ear was originally gray and I went back with a pink color later. I added white dots to the vest with a white gel pen. I added a sentiment up top. I die cut the mouse, leaves and the frame and backed the frame with a piece of lightweight text paper (I'm a sucker for text paper anywhere). I added the olive green strip which I stamped with the same color ink and mounted everything onto a kraft card. Can't wait to use the rest of this sweet set.
