Birthday Surprise

Hello! I have a Stampendous slimline card to share with a sweet little House Mouse. I was inspired by the Slim Birthday Words stamp, and I decided to cut apart the Sleepy Surprise House Mouse stamp and use only the fella with the noise maker.

7. Trim the panel to 8″ x 3 3/4.”

8. Using a pearl mica powder and water, apply the powder to all of the words to get an oxidized shimmer. Let dry.

I love that rainbow of color! I also really like the oxidation effect you get when you add water to Distress Oxides…for this stamp, it’s a great technique to take advantage of. Please visit the Stampendous Blog for more projects. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
