More Masked Little Mice.

 Hello everyone: My prayers go for all of you who are being affected by the terrible fires on the West Coast, I pray for my friends who live in California and Oregon, I'm so sorry for the devastating loss all of you are suffering right now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have another card done with THIS STAMP SET from House Mouse.

 

I think this is one of the best ways to encourage everyone to wear a mask, I mean, these little siblings are doing it, we should too.

The image is stamped on Canson Mixed Media paper with Stazon ink and colored with Prismacolor pencils. The balloons are from Purple Onion.

******************************************************

Here's the inside.

The sentiment is from the HM set, the little mice footprints from Penny Black  HOMEMADE.

I'm playing along with the following challenges.

Summer Heat!!!!!

Hello everyone: Summer is in full swing up here and I wish I could just go to the beach every day to do exactly what this little bunny is doing, how about you?

This bunny is from the Happy Hoppers collection from House Mouse and it's called "Umbrella Nap", I stamped it on Canson Mix Media with Stazon Black ink and colored it with Prismacolor pencils. I had to stamp the umbrella again because I messed up big time when I was coloring it, the tip of my pencil broke and it made a dark line on it, I tried to erase it with no luck, so I redid it and fussy cut it, the sentiment is from a Power Poppy set called Sunny Harvest.

I punched out the sun and sponged it and the sun rays with Daffodil Delight, the sky is done with Broken China distress ink, I used one of the stamps in the retired SU set "Gorgeous Grunge" for the "sand".

***************************************************

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.

The border is from a retired SU set called "Bordering Blooms", the sentiment is from a Power Poppy set called Best Day Ever and the little glass from an unknown set bought a long time ago from a bargain bin.

I'm playing along with the following challenges.

Mischievous.....

Hello dear blogging friends: Today is my last day as the Guest Designer for the HOUSE MOUSE AND FRIENDS MONDAY CHALLENGE.  You know how much I love the House Mouse sibblings so I had a blast creating my cards with the adorable images of this little critters that are so very dear to me and, as you can see on this card, they can be as sweet as they are MISCHIEVOUS!!

The challenge this time is "Anything Goes with an option of Ribbons" so, this is a good chance for us to use all of those scraps that we can't seem to throw away.

I often find inspiration on Pinterest and this time, I hit the Jack Pot!!  I found THIS FABULOUS CARD by the very talented Hannelie Bester, her blog Desert Diva is one of my most favorites when it comes to amazing CAS cards. 

I have this birthday pattern paper sheets on my stash so I decided to go with the colors of the candles to pick the ribbons and to color the balloons. Every time I use this image, I can't help but smile and the total mischievousness of this little mouse just about to wake up his sister with a BANG!!

I stamped the image on some watercolor paper with Stazon black ink and colored with Sakura Koi watercolors and Prismacolor pencils, I fussy cut around it and popped it up with some fun foam. I placed some Rhine Stones, Candy Dots and a few stars for some bling.

*********************************************************************

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.

The sentiment is from Penny Black and the fireworks from The Ton "Pyrotechnics" stamp set.

I hope you stop by the HOUSE MOUSE AND FRIENDS MONDAY CHALLENGE to see the amazing cards from the other Guest Designers and the fabulous Design Team and join in the fun, there are some fantastic prizes for you to win.

Thank you for stopping by, I always read every single comment you so kindly leave on my posts, I want you to know I appreciate them more than words can express.

I stamped this image on a piece of watercolor paper with Stazon black ink and colored it with Sakura Koi watercolors and a bit of Prismacolor pencils for shading.

The pattern papers are from a retired line from Lili of the Valley, the ribbon from my stash and the stamped strawberries from a retired Flourishes set called "Strawberries".
