Thinking of You!

Hi everyone!  I'm Beverly and I am delighted to come back today to share another cute way to use the adorable Cup of Love stamp set from Gerda Steiner Designs!  When I chose this blue tiled paper by Recollections, I knew exactly which stencil I would use in the background - Stamp Mosaic from A Colorful Life Designs.  I mixed few drops of reinker with water to create the splatters.  Just tap your wet watercolor brush across your finger to splat color!  Now here's how I paper pieced the tea cup:

Once the glue was dry on the tea cup, I was ready to color the mouse and the interior of the cup.  I found the right match for the cup in my Prismacolor Pencils (PC1087).  The mouse is colored with Copic markers COO, CO, C1, and RVOO.  Now the mouse is ready for a little extra dimension attention as follows:

Next, the cup was mounted on a die cut circle with foam tape, and the complete circle was glued atop the stenciling on the card.

"Thinking of You" was stamped with VersaFine Onyx on Neenah Classic cardstock, and trimmed wide enough for the sentiment before layer on a coordinating strip of cardstock to pull everything together!

It has truly been my pleasure to be asked to Guest Design for Gerda Steiner Designs!  Now here's to your next opportunity to enjoy some sweet paper crafting time!

Thanks for your visit!
