Hello Stamplings!

Happy Febrrrrrrary! I always feel sorry for the Cupids out there in parts of the world where it is freezing cold. Their poor quivers!

This is a quick post as we have company coming for a few days. I'm not sure if I will be able to post next Monday, so I went with a Valentine for you today:

This week the IDEAS schedule is I = "Ink" and next week it's D = "Dies," so I've covered them both with this card. My featured NBUS today are the mice from "Wishing You Happiness," by Anita Jeram for the Colorado Craft Company.

(Am I the only one who buys a popular stamp set and then doesn't use it right away because it's being used by everyone? Then, you know, years go by ... so dumb, but hey, the important thing is to eventually use them!🙃)

I die-cut the stitched heart (from Cottage Cutz) and removed it from the panel. Placing it on a piece of scrap paper, I stamped the splotches using spritzed Distress Inks. I put the painted heart back in its original place, taped it at the back, and stamped the two mice arteests. The mice and brushes were lightly painted with my Ziggies. 

Then I sent Hammy and Stanley deep into the pp drawers and they found a piece that perfectly matched the pink and red inks I used. I die cut and stacked the love word (from My Creative Time) and then used the same piece as a mat. That was attached to a white card base so you'd never know the mat paper has part of it missing where the die was cut.🤫 Playing in:
