House Mouse Challenge


2RedBananas.com is hosting a House Mouse Challenge. It's pretty simple - there's a sketch and you just have to use a House Mouse image. Go to the House Mouse blog (http://housemouse-challenge.blogspot.com/) for more information.

I made this card for the challenge using red CS onto which I adhered a block of sei "Alpine Frost" patterned paper. I matted two additional blocks of sei patterned paper onto red CS and adhered them to the front of the card. The House Mouse image is stamped on white CS. I colored the image with watercolor pencils and a Tombow blender pen. I used Stickles on the snow and a black glaze pen for the bird's eyes. I cut the image in a circle and matted it on red CS, which I pop dotted onto the front of the card. I tied two pieces of white ribbon criss-crossed on the front and adhered three Dewdrops on the right-hand corner of the top block.
