F4A742 - Stamp or Emboss or Both on Patterned Paper - 05/10/2024
I opted to go with stamping on patterned paper, using a patterned paper in Petal Pink that has a distressed look with flecks of white throughout. I stamped the large mouse image onto this patterned paper using brown ink and cut it down with a rounded square die.
Then I layered the patterned paper onto Calypso Coral to mat it with a border all the way around. This is layered onto brown patterned paper with coffee beans (no stamping or embossing on this piece). Then more layering onto Petal Pink cardstock die cut with a scalloped rectangle and Calypso Coral cardstock.
Petal Pink has always had more of a peachy undertone to me than pink, so I think it pairs well with the Calypso Coral. The card needed a brighter color to jazz it up and something bold enough to use for the sentiment (I found a very close match using Catherine Pooler Tutti Frutti ink).

Great card! That House Mouse image is super cute, and the coffee bean patterned paper goes with it perfectly. I like the way you stamped the sentiment on the cup.
