Cardmaking Stamps



This is a few of the darling House Mouse Stamps. If not familiar you can search the company by putting in search bar, House Mouse Rubber Stamps;
Mine were done in colored pencil and gamasol which provides almost a painted smooth look. You have to play around with them and practice. Place your color light first around the edges, and with blending stub dip tip in gamasol. Then gently circular motion bring out the edge color to the center.
the colors are vivid and delightful. I am an avid user of watercolors, in most everything to do with art/coloring. I have since discovered the ease and mobile (take them with me to crops)

Tropical Drink and House Mouse Greeting Cards

Topical Drink is layered paper with a rectangle die cut drink. Stamped with memento ink and colored with copic markers on Beckett Paper. The House mouse was stamped and colored with watercolors. Thinking cheerful colorful cards to bring spring into the heart of others. Why is it truly, colorful cards make us feel good and lift our spirits.
Both cards are approx. 5 by 7 inches. For more information, please feel free to ask.
It was beautiful weather, perfect temp on sunday. It seems harder and harder to find the time to create. I had a couple custom orders and I need to get busy for father's day cards. Get a few up on Etsy. I love etsy, it has such good work, others create, run well, and very simple.
If you create think about putting your work on etsy. I have two sites, one for paintings and cards. Another for card and scrapbooking supplies. Items I love to use and can offer to others. We find things that work, by trial and error. I am always trying new scissors, papers, embellishments and of course stamps.
Please share your thoughts and comments of what works for you.

Have a splendid day!
