The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. This card opens on the right and the fold is on the left.
I took the "fa-la-la-la-la" Designer Series Paper (DSP) circle from yesterday's card and thought I'd work it into a card and I was thrilled that it worked. I had used the second largest die from the "Stylish Shapes" die set and the DSP is from the "Santa Express". I also die cut the green DSP from the same set but used the next size stitched circle smaller.
The mouse was stamped on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock and was colored in using my light and dark Blends pens. I used Smoky Slate, Poppy Parade and Granny Apple Green and I used the dark Petal Pink. Once I was done coloring I die cut it with the third largest stitched circle die.
I took a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock and my Blending Brush and scrubbed on some Granny Apple Green ink.
Next I taped the red circle down and then the green on top. The white circle was set in place using Dimensonals. I set the piece in place on the front of the card using Dimensionals.
Then I printed the words on my computer because I didn't have very many holiday words and I really wanted "Fa-la-la-la-la" on the card. I used Comic Sans MS 16pt for the words and I used the RGB code for Poppy Parade. R-230, G-6, B-45. I printed it out on a piece of Basic White card stock and die cut it with the stitched ribbon die in the same "Stylish Shapes" die set. I set the word piece in place on the front of the card using Dimensionals. And the card was done.
This was a fun and quick card to make, plus I got to use that scrap circle from yesterday's card!
