Hello and welcome! It's time for my weekly card share for Allsorts challenge. Dena is our host this week and she selected the theme of "Pink" for her option. If pink isn't your thing then you are welcome to select the "anything goes" option. All will be considered for the top five and will be entered into the prize drawing. Prizes come from AALL and Create and Lavinia, they are for weeks 767 and 768, winners will be announced the last Friday of the month.
It was Valentine's week and so I decided to make a Valentine's card. I made two identical cards to give to the kids with some sweet treats :) And I made cupcakes for Valentine's Day as a dessert so I thought this cute mouse with cupcake image was a perfect choice.
I was so busy this week (which seems like a weekly pattern for me) so I had to come up with a quick design. I find a stencil plus image usually works so well for a quick card so that I what I did. I selected a "rays" stencil. This particular one came in a set of 3 by Vicki Boutin. I used Picked Raspberry Distress ink then stamped the image from the Penny Black set Loads of Love using Memento Tuxedo ink and colored with Copic markers. Some stickles glitter in Stardust was added to the cupcake. The sentiment is an oldie from Stampin Up (I think). I mounted the image panel onto card stock inked with Raspberry ink and then a white card base.
