Patriotic Mickey Mouse Card

Some of you may not know but I worked for the Mouse as in Mickey Mouse at Disney World in FL thru high school & college. Worked in Borden Ice Cream Shop at end of Main Street and in the Silver Smith shop in Liberty Square. Popular ice cream flavors then were Pistachio. In the Silver Smith shop we polished the silver & Spoon Rings were popular then. Does anyone else remember Spoon Rings? Was a fun job even with the cleanup that was involved in the ice cream shop at closing time. I did not have a car so I carpooled with friends and we split gas cost. 

Created this patriotic Mickey Mouse card using a couple new & different techniques to me. One different technique is to color an embossed image with Tim Holtz Distress Inks using more than one color. Have done this before using one color so I challenged myself to use more than one color. Masked off part not to be colored. Used Tim Holtz Distress Ink: barn door and faded jeans. Another new technique is to use paper piercing on the tag. Used Tim Holtz ruler that has paper piercing holes. Another new to me was to use 3+ layers.


Used Mickey & Friends Cricut cartridge for Mickey Mouse head. Used Stand and Salute Cricut cartridge for Uncle Sam hat. Used white glitter on stars & red Stickles on Uncle Sam hat.

Used Kraft americana cardstock for blue base & red layer.

Used a Spellbinders die cut for tag. Stamped sentiment on tag. Used Tim Holtz ruler with paper piercing holes. Used ribbon.
