A New Release from Colorado Craft Company (+GIVEAWAY!)

3 May

Good morning!  I’m popping in to share some inspiration using the new Kris Lauren Pretty Little Lines release from Colorado Craft Company and a giveaway!

Daffodil Mice by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Colorado Craft Company

Today’s card uses the adorable Daffodil Mice!  I stamped the daffodil and both mice with versafine and heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder before coloring them with copics.  I used the following copic markers:

  • Mice – T0, T2, T4, T6, R0000, R00, R02
  • Daffodil – G21, G24, G28, Y11, Y13, Y15, Y38, E37, YR16

Once I finished coloring I die-cut the images with the coordinating dies.  I also stamped the sentiment from Daffodil Mice onto dark navy cardstock and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder before die-cutting it with the coordinating die.

Next I created my background by blending Shaded Lilac, Blueprint Sketch, and Chipped Sapphire distress oxide ink onto a panel of heavystock cardstock.  I let the color fade to white at the bottom and then splattered it with water.  I adhered the images to the panel with ATG adhesive and foam mounting tape for the bottom mouse.  Finally I added nuvo crystal glaze to the inside of the mice ears and sprinkled them with chunky and prisma glitter for a little extra sparkle!

Be sure to check out the full release from Colorado Craft Company and I’d love to know your favorite! Thanks so much for stopping by and have an amazing day!

To celebrate the release, I’m giving away one stamp set to a lucky commenter! To enter, leave a comment here and let me know your favorite set from the new Kris Lauren release!  Comments must be left before 11:59 PM MT on May 7th, 2022 and the winners will be announced on May 8th!  Good luck!

    Such a lovely card, I love the touch of sparkle you added to the mice! It is so hard to pick a fav since I love pretty much everything but I think the Floral Corners is going to be my top pick! I can see so many amazing ways to use it!

    I love the blue colors you chose for the background and the sparkle you added. The mice are so adorable! Adding the prisma glitter to the inside of their ears was a nice touch.
