Double D Challenge - HEARTS

Hello friends.  Playing along with the Double D Challenge today with a cute little Valentine card for my hubby.


I was inspired not only by the beautiful hearts mood board, but also by Bonnie Klass's cute CCC/Anita Jeram card (HERE).  I have quite a collection of the cute little critters myself (have I mentioned before how much I like paper mice better than the real ones??!!) and after seeing Bonnie's darling card I went digging through my stash to see what I had, and came up with the Ever Thine stamp set, and came up with this card...


  I started by making a background using Gina K's Layered Hearts stencils, using red, pink & orange inks that was left on my ink blending brushes.  


I matted my stenciled layer to a piece of black cardstock and then adhered both a white card base. Next I die cut a Heart Arrow Die (The Greetery)  and added to my stenciled background before attaching my cute little PAPER mouse from the Ever Thine stamp set.  I did pop him up with some foam tape for a little dimension, and then finished with just a few clear sequins.

There is LOTS of FABULOUS inspiration for you from the DT over at the Double D Challenge, so if you need to finish up those Valentines, this is a terrific spot for inspiration!  This challenge is open till the 12th @ 8:00PM. 

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

    If a mouse this cute showed up at my house, I would be tempted to give him a snack and have a conversation with him LOL! This is cute beyond words, Marcia! I'm smitten!

    I prefer paper mice too, Marcia, and beginning to regret not getting of the AJ ones. He is darling standing among those fabulous stenciled hearts.
