Hey crafty people! How is your week going so far? I hope you are carving out some crafty time for yourselves!
I'm here today to share with you the card I created for Husband Appreciation Day, which was on April 21st.
I was in a bit of a dilemma as to what image to use to show my husband that I appreciate him. Then I came across this little guy, which is Fat Mice - Flower. I wouldn't ordinarily give my hubby flowers, but this is a pretty cute way to do that. Here is what I stamped on the inside, using Honey Bee stamps.
I used Faded Jeans Distress Oxide for my stamping, and I also used it to sponge the front of my card. The patterned circles were die cut from a tissue box. The chubby guy was colored with alcohol markers.

ReplyDeleteHi Marie, I love how you did the background for the mouse, so cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fab card, and what a great use for the tissue box! I often see such lovely patterns on things, and think I should re-use them in something. thank you for reminding me I should actually do so, and not keep hoarding the stuff, lol.
