Good morning! I’m so excited to be hopping along to celebrate the newest line from Colorado Craft Company! Kris Lauren with Pretty Little Lines is the newest artist for Colorado Craft Company and she has some of the cutest designs! I fell hard for the napping mouse in This is the Life Toadstool and that’s what I used today!
I started by blending a background of Tattered Rose, Festive Berries, Aged Mahogany, and Black Soot distress oxide ink on a panel of heavystock cardstock. I let it dry completely and then stamped the grass and sentiment from This is the Life Toadstool with versafine and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder.
Next I stamped the mouse, mushroom, and ladybug with versafine and heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder. I colored them with copic markers and then die-cut them with the coordinating dies. I used the following colors:
- Mouse: R0000, R00, R02, T0, T2, T4, T6
- Mushroom: E40, E70, E71, E74, E77, R35, R37, R39, R89
- Ladybug: R35, R37, R39
I adhered the images to my blended background with foam mounting tape and then added a few white gel pen accents. Finally I added a little nuvo crystal glaze to the ladybug and the white spots of the mushroom for a little extra shine! And that’s it!
Be sure to check out the full release from Colorado Craft Company and I’d love to know your favorite! Thanks so much for stopping by and have an amazing day!

Just the perfect amount of shine … I too love this mouse! Like me I think he must either be retired or on a very relaxing vacation. Great job, TFS
I love the eye catching red background! Such a cute card!
Your blended background is a great way to show off the adorable napping mouse on the toadstool. Beautiful and fun card!
That mouse is just too cute for words and your BG is amazing. Love this!
I like the red sky with the red mushroom. That is a nice look that I wouldn’t have thought of.
So sweet – and the background is fabulous!
Adorable
Love your card! What a great new collection for CCC! Thanks for sharing!
Oh that dramatic background is so different from all the rest of the inspiration, and it’s great. Thanks for creating and sharing.
Oh my, this is absolutely adorable!
So beautiful!
Gorgeous colors!
Your cards are so beautiful!
Red sky in morning, cuteness warning, red sky at night, mousey sleep tight. The color of that sky is breathtaking. I especially like how you didn’t change the beloved red color of the schroom top, yet it doesn’t get lost in the red sky. The red on red is wonderfully defined. Hauntingly beautiful!
So stunning with your dramatic background for this sweet little mouse Jess!!! I just love it! Thanks so much for the great inspiration. Take Care! 🙂
Gorgeous ink blending, Jessica. Your cards are always absolute perfection. Love the new line and can’t wait to add some of those adorable images to my stash!
