29 again? by Bonnie

May 09, 2023

Hello and welcome. 

I'm excited to share with you my creations as a Guest Designer for Gerda Steiner Designs.  Today I'm sharing a card made using the new Cupcake Mice stamp set.  Now, I'm always looking for cute, or snarky, images for birthday cards and this set has both!  I'm in love!

I started out by dry embossing a turquoise card using my Big Shot and my Cuttlebug birthday words embossing folder before stippling Tim Holtz broken china distress ink over the raised images then setting aside.  My images/saying were then stamped onto Hammermill white card stock scraps before coloring using my Copic markers and a white gel pen for the cupcake frosting. 

Once the coloring was finished, I lightly stippled leftover broken china distress ink around the edges of my mouse before layering and adding some black mini brads. 

I then stamped the saying again onto another piece of scrap card stock then highlighted it with a Castle Arts black glitter gel pen before stippling more broken china ink, layering, adding more brads. 

Once my saying was popped up on my image panel, I added some silver/white bakers twine along the edge of the card base.  The final touches were some Picket Fence Studios turquoise sequins on the cupcake and next to my main image.
