HM&F #47 - Spring Blossoms Just For You

Happy Monday to all you House Mouse & Friends Blog Lovers.... The very talented Carolyn has issued our challenge this week - the only thing that can be coloured is the IMAGE, everything else must be WHITE (papers, embellishments etc).

Here is my take on the challenge.



My adorable Stampabilities House Mouse image is called "Spring Blossoms" featuring Mudpie, Amanda and Monica. I stamped the image twice with stazon jet black ink onto water colour paper. I coloured one whole image with prisma colour pencil crayons and gamsol and only coloured the lower daisy image on the other. I cut out the single daisy and rubbed my dry embossing tool on the back of it to give it some dimension, attached daisy. Matted image with rectangle scalloped nestability. Pierced holes in scallops, attached brads to corners. Main card is 5 1/2" x 5 1/2". I ran a 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 piece of white card stock through the Cuttlebug using the Forest Branches embossing folder - I embossed it in both directions. Ran a smaller piece of white card stock through the Bug with the Swiss Dot (border) folder. Punched scalloped border (Martha Stewart punch). Sewed edges twice using a wander stitch. Attached brads in center of the scallops. Attached knotted white Satin Ribbon. Applied diamond stickles to the Flowers. Popped up image and textured panel.

Please make a card or project using at least one House Mouse, Happy Hopper or Gruffies image. And be sure to check out what the other very talented House Mouse & Friends design team have come up with to inspire you.
