Here are the stamps I used to create the mouse:
Instructions:
Attach the Wildflower Meadow DSP to the Pool Party card base.
Stamp your mouse onto the Whisper White piece using Smoky Slate ink. If you do not have Smoky Slate, you could use a soft brown like Crumb Cake and make a little brown mouse.
Stamp the eyes using Basic Black ink.
Using a Calypso Coral marker, draw on a small nose. You could also use a Real Red or Melon Mambo marker.
Using a Basic Black marker, draw on some whiskers.
If you have a Smoky Slate marker, (which I do NOT and is the reason why my mouse is tail-less) draw on a tail on the left side. Kind of like a long stretched out S. I saw one online and it looked so much cuter with the tail!!! You can find it on my Playful Pals Pinterest board.
Cut out the "grass' using the Old Olive piece and your Pyramid Pals Thinlits. You will need to cut two.
Using a scissors, cut the grass so it is kind of wavy and not perfectly straight.
Attach the grass to the bottom of your Whisper White piece. The Fine-tip Glue Pen works best. Trim if necessary.
Attach your Whisper White rectangle to your card front. Notice I did not have you attach this piece until AFTER you stamped and drew your mouse. That way in case you make any mistakes, you can start over on the backside of your Whisper White piece, or get another piece of cardstock. You don't want to attach it first and then make a big stamping mess. You're welcome. ;)
Using Blackberry Bliss ink (or Basic Black) stamp any sentiment that you have.
Attach the Old Olive "stem". Make sure to tuck in under the "grass".
Attach the Hello Honey circle to the center of the Calypso Coral Flower Medallion using Dimensionals.
Attach your flower to the top of the stem using Dimensionals.
Trim your "leaf" if necessary. Attach using Dimensionals.
Attach butterfly using Dimensionals.
This card is very simple to create. The instructions take longer to type out than it actually takes to make the card!! :)
All of my Playful Pals critters were inspired by other creations I saw on the internet.
