This Month's Theme
For the month of February I selected the theme of..........................
Hearts or Flowers
Remember, this theme is optional for your inspiration but you may share
any of your crafty makes!
My February Card
I thought these cute mice were perfect for a Love or Valentines Day
themed card and I used them along with some other favorite Penny Black
stamps.
The mice were stamped on Neenah 80lb card stock using Memento Tuxedo ink then colored with some Copic markers. The heart from the Penny Black Set
So Very Much was stamped
using Victorian Velvet Distress ink on Neenah paper and I used foam tape to add the cute
image.
Next I stamped the postmark and cancellation mark from the set Posted with Love to the bottom right using Pumice Stone Distress ink and the heart in the middle using Victorian Velvet ink.

As many designer papers and scraps as I have, I could not find anything I
liked, so I decided to use my Classy Stripes stencil and Victorian Velvet ink again to make my own striped paper and cut off a small strip to
add to the card.
The sentiment which is part of the set Micey Day has been heat embossed using
Versamark
ink and white super fine Embossing Powder on black card stock and added to the card with foam tape. I thought
it needed something else dark on the top left and found some paper scraps in
my scrap box which I added a paperclip to and tied some white ribbon onto
it. To finish it off, I inked the edges using the same Victorian Velvet ink,
then mounted onto a 110lb heavy weight card.
