Your Monday Morning Kick Start this week with HM & Friends is gonna be great. Why? Because it's my idea! LOL. I know....I know....that's sew funny.....I have you in stitches don't I! ha! Yep....I'm a cheese ball! ha ha ha. Sew are you ready to play?! Have you figured out what the theme is yet?
House Mouse & Friends Challenge #6 - Stitching
We would like to see stitching of any kind on you work. Real stitching, faux stitching, stamped on stitching, a stamp that features stitching or even reference to stitching in the sentiment. It's entirely your choice what you make - card, lay out, atc, etc anything goes as long as it features at least one House Mouse or Friends image and follows this weeks theme. All the details for this weeks challenge and samples from the Design Team can be found HERE.
For my card I used a stamp that features sewing. I also stamped stitching around the edges. The sentiment is sew perfect! LOL I love how the colors work together. I think that patterned paper couldn't have been any more perfect!
This House Mouse stamp is called Perfect Fit and features Amanda & Maxwell. Amanda has been on a couple of my other cards (here & here) but this is the first time for Maxwell. Maxwell is reddish-brown and has a perpetually curled tail. He's a little prankster.
I stamped the image again, colored, cut out the sewing machine and popped it up on dimensionals. Looks sew cool! (OK....I'll stop with the "sew" humor)
These stamps are so much fun to color. Don't forget that you can click on the pics to zoom in and really check it out :) Hey....if you have a Hobby Lobby in your area....they have House Mouse & Friends stamps...AND...this week they are on sale for 50% OFF. Yep! That's right!!! Sept 22 - 27th. I'm SEW going there TODAY! (sorry...I had to do it!)
