House Mouse Challenge #26


I made this card for the House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge (http://housemouse-challenge.blogspot.com/), using a House Mouse image from 2RedBananas.com. 2RB has alot of really cute HM stamps and much, much more. The challenge was to use a House Mouse image on a Mother's Day card.

The card base is brown CS on top of which is a block of DP from the Pink Armadillo matstack by the Paper Studio. I adhered another block of Pink Armadillo paper wrapped with a pink ribbon on top of the first block, along with some flowers trimmed from a scrap and adhered with pop dots.

The House Mouse image is colored with Kimberly Watercolor pencils and a Tombow blender pen. I also added opal Shimmerz on the cup and used a Stardust pen by Sakura on the steam. I adhered three rhinestones in the upper right corner of the image. I used a piece of Scrapper's Floss to tie a small tag onto the handle of the cup, and matted the image on brown CS. I adhered the image with pop dots.

This was a fun challenge, and now I'm all set for Mother's Day in advance - for a change.
