<p>I cut and embossed the mat for this card using Penny Duncan&#8217;s nesting file. Then I stamped this cute house mouse stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black (my new favorite ink!) and colored it with my Copics. then I stamped the mouse again on a post it note and placed it over the colored image. Then I used my Paasche airbrush to spray alcohol ink (Piniata red + denatured alcohol) around the edges of the mat. By covering the image with a post it I can be sure no stray ink is sprayed on my image. The photo corners are a freebie from Thursday&#8217;s post. I cut them and the mat with my Cricut and scal software. <a href="http://www.craftedge.com/index.php?rfid=4291406&amp;amp;ref=c05943995fc9e9df4a0b0672d997478d">If you don&#8217;t have SCAL yet there is a coupon for 10% off til the 28th (Sunday) so grab it quick: 4190114</a></p>
<p>Speaking of Die cutting  <a href="http://artfulxpressions.net/">Micki </a>wanted me to share a photo of my &#8220;die cutting center&#8221; so here it is, enjoy:</p>

<p>Here is the inside of the box, I installed a power strip inside for my overhead light, cricut and laptop. When I am done cutting for the day I turn one switch off, easy!</p>
