Bright Rainbows and Sweet Mice with MFT's Weekly Sketch Challenge 681

Today, I'm sharing design team inspiration for the My Favorite Things Sketch Weekly Sketch Challenge (#681). The weather outside has been gloomy this week, but I'm in the mood for bright colors. It doesn't get much brighter than a rainbow!

I stamped the mushroom and mouse from the SY The Micest Thing stamp & die duo with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Copic XPress-It Blending Card, then colored them with Copics. I used the matching die to cut out the mouse. For the mushroom, I cut the paper down to fit a corner, then drew circles for a rainbow. I did the same with the sun at the top left: cut a corner-sized square and drew circles and points for a multi-layer sun. I colored them with Copics and then fussy cut the images with scissors.

For the rest of the card, I cut a 5.5" x 4.25" panel of red cardstock for the bottom layer. I cut a 5.25" x 4" panel of white cardstock, then cut a 6.5" x 1" strip of red cardstock. I angled that strip across the white cardstock, glued it down, and cut the edges so it's flush. I popped up the mushroom/rainbow, sun, mouse, and sentiment with foam dots, then adhered them to the white panel.
