This adorable image is Peter Bunny and Friends.  I used the Hexagon Randomness 6x8 Stencil and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink on the base of my card.  I used Pumice Stone Distress Oxide Ink on the bottom portion to ground the cup.  I colored the image and fussy cut it.  I stamped one of the sentiments from the stamp set and then adhered the image with foam tape.  I added a few heart embellishments from the Spring Hearts Mix. 

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a beautiful day!

For My Sweetest Friend

Good morning crafty friends!  I found some time to get crafty yesterday and I'm sharing one of the cards I created.

This sweet mouse is from the LTTS Doodles Etsy shop and it's called Mouse Love.  There are three adorable mice included in the digital set so be sure to stop by and check them out!  I made a mini slimline card that measures 3.5" x 6.25".  I sponged distress oxide inks onto a rectangle, spattered it with white and purple acrylic paints, and adhered it to my card.  I diecut a mini slimline stitched frame from white cardstock and adhered it to the the card with foam tape.  I colored the image with copics and fussy cut it.  I stamped an image from another stamp set and adhered the mouse with foam tape.  I added a few tiny diecut hearts to finish my card.

Copics: 

Mouse - C3, C1, C0, C00; R20, R11, R00

Hearts - R39, R37, R35, R32

Dress - R32, R30, R00; BG13, BG11, G000

Cheers To You

 Good evening crafty friends!  I'm sharing a box card featuring products from My Favorite Things.

I created the box with black and pink cardstock using the Outside The Box Die-namics.  I diecut the wineglasses from Neenah cardstock using the Long Stem Barware Die-namics and I colored the wine with copics.  The balloons are from the BB Beary Special Birthday stamp set.  I colored them with copics and diecut them using the coordinating die-namics.  I used a white gel pen to add highlights to all of the balloons and for the polka-dots on the red balloons.  The flag banner is from the Mice Day To Celebrate and I also colored it with copics.

I adhered all the images in the box and added a heat-embossed sentiment from the Raise A Glass stamp set to the front of the box.

Copics:

Red - R59, R39, R37

Pink - RV55, RV52, RV02

I'm entering my card in the MFT Outside The Box Challenge.
