"Mickey" Cards

Hello creative people!

Today I have a couple cards to show you.

I decided that I wanted to send a card to my

2 great nephews, they are going to Disney for

a vacation, so I thought something Mickey themed would

be perfect.

It's hard to see the background paper under the

patterned vellum, but it is a piece that I created

with alcohol inks.  The blue and green were a great

match for that piece.  I adhered the vellum piece to the

inked piece with Bearly Arts Glue, I love that glue,

it is great for vellum and barely shows on the 'clear' 

spots, and doesn't show at all in the areas that are printed,

even though they are translucent.

I decided to use some corrugated paper that I had in my

stash as a mat on the card and I love the look.

I then made this card with the same technique, but

with different colors.  I decided to add the Mickey head,

but it needed something to make it stand out on the card.
I punched a circle from the corrugated paper and 

mounted the Mickey head and that did the trick.

This is the card I sent to the boys, hopefully they will

like it as much as I do.

I've been challenging myself to use up scraps and 

to think outside the box lately and I'm having a 

great time doing that.  These cards are very different

than what I usually create and I love them.

Thanks for stopping by today, I'm always

glad to have you check out what I've been up to.

I hope you'll come again soon.

Until then,

use those scraps!

I'm working on those Christmas cards again!

Today I have a Christmas card that I made using

"Round Ornament" (#83405)

from Biblical Impressions.

I stamped the image onto red cardstock and cut out only the ornament part of the image.  I used a silver pen to color in the top and design on the ornament and a bit of embroidery floss for the bow.

I have had this printed vellum in my stash for ages, I have always loved it, but just never found a project to use it on. So glad I pulled it out for this card!

This picture shows the pine sprigs on the vellum a little better.

I thought the pine sprigs were a perfect background for the ornament.

I had the 'celebrate' bling in my stash and thought it would be a nice festive touch for the card.

Well, one more down in my quest to get my Christmas cards done early!

Hope you enjoy it and have gotten some inspiration here.

There are loads of great Christmas stamps at Biblical Impression, why not check them out and join me in trying to get some of those cards done early?!?!

Thanks for checking in. Leave a comment and become a follower if you will and come back soon to see what else I'm working on these days.

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
