Stay Cool: House Mouse

Hello! I have a new House Mouse card to share today. The Stay Cool stamp set, which is available through Spellbinders, is perfect for summer-lovin’ folks, people that have hot flashes, or anyone that has heat intolerance…or maybe just people that like House Mouse!

I stamped the focal stamp onto a piece of Copic friendly paper with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I colored the stamped image with the following Copics:
Skin: E50, E21, E35, E93
Fur: E53, E57, E59
Fan: C0, C1, C3, C7
Ice: B000, B00, B12
Glass: BG10, BG13
Ground: BG72, BG09, BG10
Liquid: Altenew’s Dew Drops from the Zanzibar collection (this is a watercolor marker, which I used so that it wouldn’t make the Copics bleed or blend)

I trimmed down the colored panel with one of the plain dies in the Hemstitch Rectangles set from Spellbinders. Then I inked the edges with Salvaged Patina Distress Ink, which I also did on my card base. Behind my colored panel, I added a Gel Press monoprint that I had made with assorted alcohol inks. It was in my stash already, so I don’t recall what colors I used.

I love the refreshing colors on this card. It makes me feel just a little cooler…how about you? You can check out all of the available House Mouse stamps over at Spellbinders. Thanks so much for stopping by. Have an inspiring day!
