Pretty Pink Posh - Mice & Strawberries - Coloring on Kraft Cardstock

Hello there,

I'm happy to be back with this lovely spring card featuring a mix and match of Pretty Pink Posh stamp sets. I picked several strawberry themed images from different sets (listed down below) and had so much fun creating the background.

I've been really liking coloring on kraft cardstock lately, and this is what I did on this card. I started off by stamping all my images on kraft cardstock by Lawn Fawn using an alcohol marker friendly black ink, I cut them all using the coordinating dies, and colored everything using my alcohol markers, with lots of reds, obviously, as well as greens and browns.

Here is a detailed list of the stamp sets I used: • Mouse Friends for the mice, strawberries • Fruit Borders for the strawberry borders • Valentine Cupcakes for the cupcake • Sweet Chocolates for the hearts • Jungle Friends + Fresh Berries for the leaves

Next I cut a 5,5 x 4,25 inches kraft panel, and used the Layered Strawberries stencils along with oxide inks to create my background. For the strawberries, I used candied apple, lumberjack plaid, mowed lawn, rustic wilderness and hickory smoke. For the leaves, I used mowed lawn and rustic wilderness. And for the flowers, I used squeezed lemonade and mustard seed. Next I added texture to my panel, starting with water droplets that I dried using a paper towel. I also mixed some vintage photo oxide ink with water and used a small brush to make splatters on my panel, and then did the same with copic opaque white ink.

I white heat embossed my "You're berry sweet" greeting from Fresh Berries on yellow cardstock, trimmed it into a slim banner using a Sentiment Strips die, and then attached everything on my panel using 1mm and 2mm foam squares. I added highlights and details to the images using a white gel pen, and finished my card with some white blizzard nuvo drops on the hearts to make them sparkle.
