RI WIW--Inspiration Photo Challenge

Whew!  Can you believe that we are nearly to the third week of February?  Crazy isn't it?

This week on The House That Stamps Built we have been given this beautiful inspiration photo:

I know, you see lots of hearts, pink and red....well, I see hearts and love.  When I put those two things together, this is what I came up with.

1.  Love......I love cheese

2.  Heart......cheese in the shape of a heart

Now what could be better?

How about this adorable mouse with some heart shaped cheese?

I love how this card shows my whimsical side.  I love whimsy as it always makes me smile.  Smiling is good :)

I started by stamping the Repeat Impressions Tumbling Hearts #1210-K in Versamark ink onto an aqua panel and then I stamped the Repeat Impressions Cheese Heart Mouse #4205-G in Archival Black ink onto some 140# cold press watercolor paper and then colored it using Spectrum Noir Aqua markers.  Next I cut the image with a circle die and layered to two additional circle die cut layers.  I masked off everything but the "love" word from the Repeat Impressions I Love You #9711-E (from the Contain Yourself series) and stamped it with black ink.  I finished off the card with some yellow/white bakers twine and a heart button.

Please be sure to stop by each of my fellow Rock Star teamies and check out their
"inspired by" creations.
