This is for today's technique challenge which was to use reinkers to color our image. I used one of my beloved house mouse images. Now, I don't mean to imply that anyone here is as a dorky as I am, but I didn't get this stamp's meaning until I saw it's name...Peace on Earth. Get it? The mice are holding the word peace while standing on the earth....well, of course YOU get it! I had to jump for this one :0)
Anyway, the image is colored with a number of reinkers and the background was sponged. Don't know the name of the dp as it was in the scrap bin that I have been working on so diligently. The shiny white in the picture is from the heat embossing on the image, I have been on a heat embossing kick lately...use it for almost all my images before or after coloring. It's very dreary and rainy hear today, so natural light is out of the question. Have to use the flash and can't seem to get the photo without the glare.
Thanks for looking and thanks again for the great challenge, Sherry! I had a wonderful time creating this card!

You did a wonderful job painting this image. I find HM stamps difficult to WC, but well worth it. I like your idea of sponging the BG, really makes those little mice stand out. TFS.

Boy am I glad you clued me in about the word peace....I had to look at it again! Great coloring (I love their little tummies)! I love all the brads and all the ribbon ties!
