Woodsy Mouse Masculine Valentine

Hello!  I have a cute card to share today that I am probably going to use as a Masculine Valentine. 

 It is cute,
 it is woodsy,
 and I like it!


Card process:  First I stamped my mouse and mushroom image with Memento Black ink. I colored it in with alcohol markers.  Next, I masked around the mushroom cap with masking paper.  I used red ink to stamp the Bubble Wrap background onto the mushroom cap. After removing the mask, I used colored pencils to add just a little detail.  

The background is kraft paper with a Darice woodgrain embossing folder. I inked the raised portions with Gina K dark chocolate brown ink.  I then used the brown ink to stamp my sentiment, and embellished the card with Spellbinders die cuts, cut from paper scraps.



I combined 3 different stamp sets for this card.

Adorable image!! I love the burlap greeting panel on the embossed woodgrain background, and the die cut leaves and branches really finish off the card nicely. This is perfect for a masculine Valentine's day card.

Such an adorable card. How clever to add the red bubble wrap to the mushroom top. The greenery, background are lovely.

It's also my goal to make more masculine cards this year.

Have a great day Heidi!

Woodsy and cute is the perfect description and I just love the effect of the 'natural materials' - reminds me of childood books of woodland creatures.
