Today there are two SSS STAMPtember collaborations. This blog post is with Colorado Craft Company and I have another one that is with Kitchen Sink you can see HERE. The Colorado Craft Company set is called "My Muse" and is sold alone or as a bundle with a set of matching dies as shown here:
Here is my card:
I started by stamping all of the images in the My Muse Stamp Set on white cardstock with Intense Black Ink. I didn't really know what I was going to do with them. I colored them in with colored pencils since they are small images. I then fussy cut them all out. Yes, I fussy cut that mouse's tail and the line between the flowers. This are some fine fussy cutting skills right there! haha I do recommend the matching dies for this set!
I arranged all of the pieces on a piece of white cardstock to get a feel for how I wanted them arranged. I then tried to find a background which is what always takes me the longest! My 8 year old grand-daughter was over and had lots of opinions on what I should use. We settled on this piece of patterned paper from the Fairy Hugs Cloud Drop 6x6 paper pad. I just purchased this paper as I thought they would make cute backgrounds, so here is my first time using them! I die-cut the paper with the SSS A2 Thin Frame Die and attached it to a white card base.
I arranged all of the images over the background using the paintbrushes to "ground" the mouse. I can't handle things floating! I did let some of the images float, but I felt like he was painting a mural so they should float. I stamped a sentiment on the top left with Intense Black Ink. I then used some Chalk Stick Vintage Nuvo Drops around the background. I also used some Red Berry Gloss drops on the red paint on the paintbrush.
I think this My Muse stamp set is so darling, but I definitely recommend the My Muse Stamp and Die Bundle unless you have my amazing fussy cutting skills. haha (lots of practice lately!). You can see my other blog post for Kitchen Sink HERE which was also released today. You can see all of the STAMPtmeber collaboration stamp sets that haven't sold out yet HERE. Thanks so much for visiting! I can't believe this crazy busy fun month is almost over!!! suzy
