Notecard Set With House Mouse Sweet Moments Collection

Black & White Plus One Color with Woodland Wildlife
Hello crafters! Joan Bardee here and I’m excited to share with you the fantastic Ranger Woodland Wildlife set of stamps and coordinating dies by Simon Hurley. Spellbinders released this gorgeous set with two other fun stamp and die pairings – Inspired and Everyday Wreaths. I chose to focus on Woodland Wildlife, but the color palette I’m using would work well with the other sets as well. Today’s color palette is a striking black and white plus one other color. Since Woodland Wildlife is packed with line art drawings (as opposed to solid stamps) this color formula is great if you don’t want to color in the images or just want…

I had fun stamping and coloring on kraft color cardstock with color pencils. I kept it pretty simple…inking, some die cutting and layering for A2 size cards. My second card I had the idea to go ‘postal’ and make a faux postcard design using the Sketched Snowmen stamp and die sets. I stamped and heat-embossed two…

All of my images are stamped on Hammermill cardstock with alcohol marker-friendly ink.
