House Mouse and Silhouette Cards

 Hey Everybody,

I have a few more cards for you today. The first one is a favorite older House Mouse stamp.

Our challenge was to show some kind of action or movement. I stamped this cutie with Memento tuxedo black ink and colored him with Copic Markers. I stamped the sentiment and cut it out. I cut the image out and added it to the designer paper with 2 dimensionals and a spinner. That panel was added to the striped designer series paper. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.

The spinners are very small and I found them on Amazon. I am having so much fun using these things!

Here's a second card where I blended several colors together with blending brushes first then I stamped the landscape.  I really like combining colors for backgrounds like this.

Our challenge was to use mountains. I used daffodil delight, pretty in pink and peach pie and blended them together to create a sky. Then I stamped the silhouette stamps and added the sentiment. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.

Here is another House Mouse stamp that is old. The mouse is juggling balls that I colored to make into snowballs. 

Our challenge was to make a card that's icy. I stamped this little guy on Thoughtful Journey designer paper with Memento tuxedo Black ink. I colored the mouse with Copic Markers. Then I colored the snowballs with a white ink gel pen. When it was dry I added the glitter glaze. I added glitter glaze under the mouse to make it look icy. This will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.

Well there you have it. Three more cards with different backgrounds of paper or ink and paper. What do you like to use to make backgrounds for your cards?

I have finally gotten my studio back in shape after classes and designer series paper that was donated to me. I cut it down so it would be easier to store and hand off to others to use. I have friends who have Card Ministries so I asked them if they wanted designer paper. When they heard it was Stampin' Up paper, they quickly said, "Yes."

Hopefully I can finish the pictures of my studio soon and show you the rest of it. 

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you stop by again soon.

Blessings,

Sue
