House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge #25 - A Sketch
This week we have a sketch by 2 Red Bananas. Not only did they provide the sketch...they are offering a prize...AND...joined in the challenge to share some awesome creations as well! For the sketch - you can flip it, shrink it, rotate it etc. Just make sure to have at least 1 HM image on your creations. For all the challenge details, prize info. and to see the great creations by the Design Team - click HERE.
This sketch works great for some of the larger HM images. I just LOVE this House Mouse Stamp! It's called Take Time To Smell The Flowers and features Muzzy. My card base is 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" with a 3" circle mat under the main image.
Coloring is done with Prismacolor Pencils & Gamsol. I love how you can blend the colors to create wonderful shading. Can't see on the pic...but I did use a little Clear Spica Glitter Pen here and there on the flowers. The main image was diecut out with a Spellbinders Circle - and the green mat is diecut from Sizzix Circle #1 die. The ribbon is flat across the bottom layer...with the bow being separate and adhered to the bottom of the circle. A little sponging around the light green layer just to soften it up a bit. Those little pink crystals - Swarvoski of course :)

Lori, when I saw your card I thought "Holy Moly" this girl can color to perfection!!!!! Im blown away at the gentleness and realistic looks of this colored image that goes so beautifully with your DP. Way to go GF!! :)
OMG! I love your card so much that I went straight to the House Mouse web site last night and ordered it. (I only own a couple House Mouse stamps...so far...hee hee) I also ordered Twinkle Toes and Monica Romances last night. (All because I saw what CUTE cards you made with them.) I do have Together Under the Moon, You stole my heart sentiment, and Fish Bowl. (Some of my FAVORITES!) I also have Finders Keepers, which I've never used yet. And a friend gave me Weighing Baby and Relaxing because she bought duplicates. Gotta love that! :)
