I die cut watercolour card and glitter card using Clarity Crafts Nested Squares and I also die cut a Creative Expressions Christmas sentiment from glitter card. I put the die cut glitter card to one side.
Using Versafine Clair Nocturne I stamped the House Mouse Hold On stamp onto the die cut square and onto a second piece of watercolour card. Using Clarity Crafts stencil brushes and a MFT stencil with blue Distress inks I coloured the sky on the die cut watercolour card. I then water coloured the die cut square then I watercoloured just the mice on the second stamped image. I left to dry.
I recently found a box of MDF pieces and decided to use one on this card. I used acrylics to paint the frame and left to dry. I attached some old patterned paper to an A5 card and added red satin ribbon at the top.
Once the stamped die cut image was dry I attached to the die cut glitter card using brads. I layered three die cut sentiments, gluing each layer then adhered to the stamped scene. I very carefully fussy cut the mice, somehow keeping it in one piece.
I lightly shaped the mice then adhered them with Pinflair Glue Gel to achieve a lovely 3D look. I made a red satin bow and adhered that to the MDF then adheredthe MDF onto the card front. I used a glossy medium to make the ice look real, sadly I wasn't able to capture that in my photos. I added Viva Decor 3D snow gel at the bottom to finish. Back soon x
