Monochromatics
I wanted to do a monochromatic card and decided on using only blue cardstock. I chose the Blessed Mouse stamp from My Favorite Things. I think it's a cute image, and I love the sentiments that come with it. My mouse is colored with copics---no sparkle or embellishments on this card, which is quite unusual for me.
I did use a variety of Die-namics on this card. They are all available at the My Favorite Things store I used these ones:
Rolled Mum
Monarch Border
Chevron Stripes
Mini Tabs Foursome
I really like their dies. They are so easy to work with and they always cut clean edges. Their stamps are also excellent. I always get a nice clean stamped image. My favorite stamps are from MFT--in case you couldn't tell. LOL
Did you know that My Favorite Things are having a Guest Designer contest? The winner gets to be the Guest Designer for August. Be sure to check out this post for all the details. Don't forget to take a look at all the entries, as they are usually awesome.
Lastly, I inked the edges of all the cardstock with broken china distress ink from Tim Holtz. Then I embossed each piece of cardstock using a different cuttlebug folder, to add texture to the card.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
