Welcome back to another Colorful Options Challenge! This month, in celebration of Valentine’s Day, we’re focusing on the color that symbolizes romance, sweetness, and love—pink! But if pink isn't your thing, don’t worry—you can always opt for the alternative rainbow theme for a burst of color!
My card features the Ever Thine Stamp Set from Colorado Craft Company. I just love the adorable sweetness of the mice—they add the perfect touch of charm and whimsy to the design!
I stamped the images and colored them with Prismacolor pencils for a soft, delicate look. The smooth shading gave the mice a gentle, almost vintage feel, perfect for the romantic theme of the card.
I took another panel and masked off a portion using masking tape. Then, I blended Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo, and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide Inks to create a soft, gradient background. Next, I placed the Fluttering Hearts Stencil from Honey Bee Stamps over the panel and blended more Picked Raspberry ink through the stencil for a deeper, more vibrant color, adding some texture and dimension to the design.
After removing the stencil, I stamped the sentiment from the Ever Thine set directly onto the panel. I trimmed the panel to create a clean border and then adhered it to an A2 white card base for a crisp, finished look. To give the card some dimension and interest, I popped the colored images up on foam tape, allowing them to stand out beautifully against the background.
