Teacup Paddler

Hello! I have a new House Mouse card to share with you today that has the “Teacup Paddler” stamp. This little mouse wanted to go for a ride…in a teacup! I am entering this card into the latest House Mouse & Friends Challenge, which is “Anything Goes.”

2. Color the stamped image with the Copic Markers listed.

3. Trim the image to 2 1/4″ x 4.”

4. Apply VersaMark Ink to 2 sides of the trimmed image.

5. Sprinkle Floral Pink Medium on the 2 inked sides, tap off excess, and heat set.

6. Stamp the sentiment to the piece with Twilight Ink.

7. Repeat for the other 2 sides.

8. On a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Poster Board Paper, apply Blending Solution.

9. While the Blending Solution is still wet, apply a few drops each of Celestial and Stonewashed Alcohol Inks.

10. Use the Air Blower to move the ink around the paper, until you get the look you desire. Let dry.

11. Create the card base with Periwinkle colored cardstock, cut to 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2.”

12. Adhere the dry alcohol ink panel and the colored mouse to the card base with Zip Dry Glue.

I love the watery look the alcohol ink background has. If you’re curious how to make alcohol ink backgrounds like this one, please check out my YouTube video HERE. I hope that mouse is having a good time! It looks like a lot of work to paddle that teacup. For more fun ideas, please visit the Stampendous Blog. Thanks for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
