This card is for a couple SplitCoastStampers Dirty Dozen challenges, as well as the House Mouse challenge. The House Mouse challenge can be found here: http://housemouse-challenge.blogspot...-on-white.html. It is to use only white except for the coloring of the House Mouse image. The DTGD challenges are the sketch challenge, the challenge to use wings, and the challenge to use punches and die cuts.
My House Mouse stamp is actually a Halloween stamp, but I left off the pumpkin. I colored it with SU! markers, one Copic marker and a couple Prismacolor pencils. I cut it out and embossed with a circle Nestability. The matting layer is also cut with a Nestability and embossed with a CB folder – Bubbles. I used a MS punch for the border at the bottom of the horizontal panel, and scored some lines with my Scor-Pal. The bottom layer is embossed with a Sizzix embossing folder. I almost “forgot” the three items to the upper left of the image, but I decided the tiny flower punch would work. I added tiny pearls to their centers. I was trying to figure out how to pop them up. There was no way I could cut Pop Dots to fit. I decided on seed beads. I glued a seed bead to the bottom of each of them and glued them on the base. The flower on the right is from the wedding section at Michael’s and also has a pearl center. I added Star Dust Stickles to the wings. They had to sparkle, of course!
Just as IÂ’m uploading this and talking to a friend on the phone, I realize I messed up!!! Shoot! The layer under the image is only supposed to be a semi-circle! Oh well, I am NOT going to re-make it!
