Hello! I'm here today to share my card with one of the newest House Mouse Heart And Soul collection by Spellbinder's! The set I've used today is called Brew-tiful Day! This stamp features the cute little mouse, named Amanda, sipping from a big cup of coffee!!
First I die cut white cardstock with an Essential Arches die. Then I die cut a folded card base with the same die to create my shaped card. Just be sure to have the top cutting edge of the die above the fold of the card base.
Next I stamped the Brew-tiful Day image onto it with Copic marker safe black ink. Before I put the stamp away, I also stamped it onto some masking paper. I cut out the mask with my scissors.
After placing the mask over the image, I used a t-square ruler and a pencil to draw a very light line to mark where I wanted to end the "wall" color and placed a piece of removable tape along and below the line. Then I used an ink blending brush to add some peachy colored ink for the wall and gray ink for the surface.
I colored the image with my Copic markers. These detailed images are so easy to color with the image's shadowing added by the artist.
Next I chose one of the three sentiments included in the Brew-tiful Day stamp set and stamped it with black pigment ink. To finish, I glued the colored layer to my card base.
And just like that I have my uniquely shaped card all finished! Be sure to check out the other adorable House Mouse sets in the Heart And Soul collection.

Wow, Carol! I love the little scene you've created as well as the shaped card! House Mouse Amanda is adorable and just getting a start to her day. While I love coffee images, this one has got to be a favorite!
