Here are the steps for making the mouse card:
- Sketch the mouse with pencil on your map. I used a map of Korea for this mouse.
- Ink in the final sketch with permanent ink.
- Use acrylic paints and iridescent acrylics to add touches of color. I make sure to keep the paint see through so you can still see the map.
- Use an exacto knife to cut out the little mouse.
- The card stock is Stampin’ Up! I really like the embossing folder that was used on the brown paper. It looks like wood.
- Attach your mouse to the card stock. Add the little finger and whiskers with pen.
- Done!
This mouse card is the first of my fine art cards. I worked on this little mouse last week. I’m really having fun using old maps for my illustrations. The maps that work the best, for the smaller illustration, are the pocket maps. I find these old maps in cool little corner used book stores. My favorite used book store, The Corner Bookstore, is located in a tiny house across from my park in downtown Beaverton Oregon. YES, the park is mine. For More....
