The card size is A2 (4.25in x5.5in.) The front panel is cut to 3.25in x 4.75in. This is my favorite size card to create. I have tried so many others but this size is the one that keeps my heart happy. My card bases are typically made using a neutral gray cardstock. These two details about my cards rarely change.
Background
This card doesn't have much of a background. One of my mice is stamped and colored directly onto the background. I've also added a few "water" patches with blue watercolor paint to create the scene. The line for the ground is just a thick line made by a Copic Multiliner and a ruler.
Focal Images
My images are from the Time for Tea Designs Rain or Shine Mice Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies. All stamped using waterproof black ink onto watercolor paper. I used my collection of watercolors to paint my mice on this card. I loved doing it a few weeks ago and wanted to go back for more.
The "splash" sentiment was heat embossed onto coordinating cardstock using white embossing powder. It was cut out using it's coordinating die. The "make a" portion of the sentiment was stamped directly onto the watercolor paper with the same black ink.
I hope that I've inspired you to create something today. Check out the Rain or Shine Mice Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies in the T4TD shop.
