My Last Sheet!!!

I cut into my last sheet of Pink Passion to make this card. I don't know that I can handle being basically out of any color of SU! paper. It's a paper emergency! I'll have to call up my demo in the morn. (I'm writing this late Wednesday night.)

A Note on Yesterday's Post: Malissa asked how to do the sentiment tag from yesterday's Butterfly Kisses card. I had the link to Asela's directions, but sometime during my editing it disappeared. I've now put it back though. So you can click on Asela's name in the above post and see her fab directions with pictures and all. Sorry about that.

I received these cute little mice in an image exchange a while back. I found them yesterday while rummaging through my stampin' stuff. The stamp is by House Mouse, and you can see it here. I colored them with my newly beloved Prismacolor pencils and gamsol. I used three shades of green, a hot pink, and a yellowy-apricot for the tulips, then a brown and pale pink for the mice. I think it's important to use several shades of the same color to get more depth.

The sentiment is actually two parts: the circle is a Mike's dollar stamp, and the flowers in the center are from a Mike's dollar clear stamp set. The circle is stamped in black stazon, the flowers in lime pastel and orchid pastel Colorbox Chalk inks (the queue). The black swirl is Autumn Leaves by Rhonna Farrer from, get this, Walmart. Now I'm not a huge Walmart fan, but if I can get Rhonna Farrer stamps for less than ten bucks, I'm there! I used a sponge and pixie pink ink to shade around the mice and finished with piercing and a wee bit o' ribbon.

The Stuff:

Stamps: House Mouse, Mike's, Rhonna Farrer Swirls

Ink: Black stazon, pixie pink, colorbox fluid chalk in lime pastel and orchid pastel
