Here we are again...Monday morning! Came fast didn't it. Is it just me....or does everyone else think the days are going by faster than they used to?! Oh well...I just need to stop trying to fit 48 hours of play into a 24 hour day :) Speaking of playing....let's get on with the House Mouse Challenge.
House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge #9 - Sketch
With the sketch you can - flip it, stretch it, shrink it, twist it, add accents to it BUT you MUST be able to see the original sketch on your project. You may add any text you would like anywhere on the card. It's entirely your choice what you make - but it must features at least one House Mouse or Friends image and follows this weeks theme. Get all the details about the challenge & take a look at all the awesome creations the rest of the DT did with this sketch HERE.
I had a hard time with this sketch. Actually...I think my eyes popped out when I saw it! I'm more into simple...and I didn't see this as simple. Do you? THEN...after staring at it for about 3 days (LOL) I got it! I saw the bottom layer as 1 piece with a strip over it. Ahhh......it's all good.....I can proceed! hee hee hee. I really think this would make an awesome scrapbook page with a pic in the center. Maybe next time - but this time you get to see a card :)
I decided against putting something in all 4 corners. Maybe it would have been good...but I kept thinking the card had enough on it already. I would love to hear your thoughts on it. :)
This House-Mouse stamp features Monica. Isn't she just the sweetest little thing. I love how soft and fuzzy she looks :) You can't see it in the pic...but I added a touch of Clear Spica Glitter Pen on the cotton ball. Coloring was done with Primacolor Pencils and Gamsol. The buttons are tied on the strip of puff balls. It worked perfect with the spacing of those little puffs. I don't know if the strip of puff is considered ribbon....I think it is....cause it was on a roll in with all the ribbons at the scrapbook store where I bought it.
I even put something fun on the inside of the card this time. A piece of patterned paper punched with my SU Slit punch. They sentiment is velum. I didn't stamp on there...it came like that.

Oh Lori, You are too funny! I also stared at this sketch for days myself! ... really! LOL. It looked so complex at first... I kept thinking there were more separate layers but then - voila! I saw the bottom layer as a single piece too - it was like MAGIC! :) Your card is super sweet. So awesome how you took it from a busy sketch and made it look simple yet classy! Way to go girlfriend! I love these details and that awesome DP! tfs America
What an adorable card. The Pink And black is so stunning and the buttons finish it off so well.
