Hey crafty friends! I’m sharing a fun birthday Rainbow-inspired card today featuring the adorable little mouse from Lawn Fawn’s Scripty Bubbles Sentiment stamp set.
My intention was to create a mouse holding a balloon for a fun Rainbow birthday card. I started by arranging the images in my Misti since I would be repeat stamping, then I stamped out the image several times. Next, using a Copic-friendly black marker, I drew a line connecting the images to create a string for the balloon.
Copic Marker Combination
Pink Mouse/Balloon: RV66, RV55, RV52, RV10, RV00 (On Balloon)
Green Mouse/Balloon: YG17, YG06, YG03, YG01, YG00
Blue Mouse/Balloon: BG07, BG05, BG02, BG01, BG000
Yellow Mouse/Balloon: Y38, Y18, Y15, Y13, Y11
Orange Mouse/Balloon: YR09, YR07, YR04, YR02, YR01
For the background, I decided to create a rainbow watercolor smooshing look. Using a piece of acetate, I smooshed the ink onto white cardstock and added additional water droplets with a clean brush. I used Kitch Flamingo, Mowed Lawn, Mermaid Lagoon, Mustard Seed, and Carved Pumpkin to create the background. When I was happy with the background, I set the entire panel to completely dry.
I used the Scalloped Slimline with Hearts in Landscape die to die-cut a piece of black cardstock. I layered the die-cut on a piece of slate gray cardstock and stamped out the sentiment. To create a little interest to the background, I created a stencil by die-cutting cardstock with the Polka Heart Backdrop by Lawn Fawn and ink blending an bolder colors of Distress Oxide ink. Finally, I added the watercolor panel with foam adhesive to layered cardstock.
I have a speed coloring video on my Instagram for you to check out if you’re interested, where I share how I colored one of the images. As always thank you so much for stopping by, until next time….sprinkle a little creativity on your day!

My perfect happy day was the day I married my husband a beautiful day in Mexico surrounded by our family and friends! Making cards with all my lawn fawn comes in a close second to that day but it brings me as much joy! Can’t wait to see the rest of the reveal! I think I LOOOOOOVE the Scripty Bubble Sentiments! And the Bubbles Stencil is so versatile and fun. Love these so much. These definitely made me smile. But another thing that made me smile today was seeing some squirrels eating from our squirrel feeder. They love peanuts and sunflower seeds. They make me laugh and smile with their antics.
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful story!
