Hello ... yep I'm back again ... wow 3 posts in one night!
And would you believe it ... more orange! What's going on here? Maybe its the sunshine that we have been getting, I could be feeling more Summery.
Tonight I have coloured a gorgeous little mouse from Sliekje Stamps. You just have to check this website out as she has gorgeous FREE stamps available. I love her little animal stamps and she has some lovely children images as well.
I was just fiddling really tonight ... but I was quite happy with my colouring and thought I would make it into a card.
Papers, papers, papers, my biggest nightmare! I don't have many and what I do have are not that crash hot. So I used one that I really love for the base and then I created my own. I stamped Style Leaf (1901LD) by Lucy's Stamps using white Fluid Chalk ink on a shimmery green cardstock. Really happy with the result ... here is a picture ............
I used a corner punch on the corners of my images and cardstock to give it a softer look. This gorgeous little mouse was giving of a soft but fresh vibe ... so I wanted the card to be bright but gentle. Does that make any sense to anyone else except me ha ha ha.
I also used a punch to punch out the little butterfiles, I thought they added some dimension and a nice finishing touch.
Can you believe there is no purple on this card? Neither can I! The flower was going to be purple but I made it orange at the last minute.
Thanks for checking out my card ... I hope you have as much fun creating something today.
I would like to enter this sleepy little mouse in the following challenges:-
