Muzzy, Amanda and Mudpie are getting their Monday Morning Kick Start! Just seems natural...doesn't it? Speaking of natural...that's the theme of this weeks House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge:
House Mouse & Friends Challenge #11 - That Natural Feeling
Our challenge this week is Natural. Use something natural on your project, use neutral colors, stamp something natural, etc. As always, you can create anything you like as long as it features at least one House Mouse or Friends image and follows this weeks theme. We have a prize up for grabs again this week! Click HERE to get all the details for this challenge, the prize and see the awesome creations the design team came up with.
The image I used was stamped and sent to me from Emma. (thanks girl!) It's called "The Need For Caffeine." It has the whole "natural" look with the coffee sack and whole coffee beans. Plus...it's a natural thing for me to get up in the morning & have a cup-a-joe. Well...ok...several cups! FINE! I admit...I drink coffee all day long! LOL
To keep with the Natural theme...I stamped the background with my Canvas Stampin'UP background stamp on Naturals Ivory cardstock. The ribbon is also a natural color and material. Image is colored with pencils & gamsol staying with the natural colors as well. I even colored the mice their natural color :) Well...I tried to get their color as close as I could. It's hard to see on the picture...but each mouse is a different color. Amanda has fawn colored fur - she's in the bag of beans Muzzy is dark grey - he's holding up the coffee cup. Mudpie has brown fur - he's drinking from the cup.
I saved the closeup pic in a larger size. Sometimes I like to zoom in on details...so I though if any of you would like to have a closer look...you could do that on this pic.
Card is 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" The layout is based on a Card Sketch from Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge #120. This is a great layout for larger images. I extended the bottom of the layout so I could add on some ribbon. It would also be a great place to put a sentiment.
