Valentine Floating Mouse Card

This card began with a piece of card stock that was used to test some NUVO shimmering metallic sprays.  The sprays produce a fine mist of color (not the flecks that you get with flicking the bristles of a paint brush) which is quite lovely.  I adhered the sprayed card to a card blank that I made from a leftover piece of printed card stock.  Because I thought that the small balloon that was attached to the Lawn Fawn mouse image was too tiny to lift the mouse, I stamped out two more balloons from a Clearly Besotted Valentine stamp set. All the stamped images were colored with Copic pens and cut out with LF dies (or trimmed free hand).  Adhesive foam dots were used to raise up the images. To add some shine, the balloons were given a light coating of Stickles icicles solution and allowed to dry. The words from the Lawn Fawn stamp set were stamped onto red card stock and heat embossed with silver powder before cutting out the strip.  This card was very simple to make and turned out well due to the NUVO sprays and Lawn Fawn stamps.  For a happy, inspirational time shopping, check out the crafty goodies being sold at HM Ben Franklin Crafts.  Happy Crafty Shopping!
