No...I'm not talking about ME! LOL I'm talking about this weeks House Mouse & Friends challenge.
So what is Tall & Thin? Easy...just make a card that is taller than normal and thinner than normal. Or make a DL size tall card (don't ask me what that is...I haven't looked it up yet! ha!) The main thing is to have fun making something different this time. Of course you need to have at least 1 HM or Friends image on your card...but the rest is all up to you. For all the challenge details and to check out the tall & thin creations by the Design Team - click HERE.
My picture is posting small...so you really NEED to click on it so you can see it BIG.
I made my card base 3.5" x 8.5" so it will fit in a standard #10 envelope. The HM image is called Tails of True Love - featuring Monica & Maxwell. Isn't it adorable! I stamped on white cardstock & colored with Prismacolor pencils & OMS. The yellow hi-lighting is done with a Copic Y11 Pale Yellow marker. Then...I took a few different shades chalk ink and shaded around the rest of the piece with a sponge dauber.
The hearts are stamped on the reverse side of the patterned paper - then I shaded in using Copics & sponged around the edges with white pigment ink. I cut them out and layered on white cs. After attaching the patterned paper to the base, I stamped mouse prints from the bottom to the top. TOO CUTE! I also sponged chalk ink around the edges of the patterned layer and the brown cs layers. Some A Muse Pink Twinkle Stickers for a little bling...and BAM! ---it's done :)
