House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge #49 - Back to School
I got to select this weeks challenge - and because my daughter is about to start back up to school I thought it would be perfect. Some of you might be saying "But I don't have any HM stamps with this theme". Hey...I don't have any...but I have other school related stamps that I used to create my theme card :) Plus...it doesn't have to be a card. It can be anything - teacher gift, a little note you slip in your child's lunch, something fun to decorate a classroom, the sky is the limit! Check out all the details and see what the design team came up with HERE.
****This weeks challenge will run until August 31st. We are giving our little Mice & Friends a little summer vacation. So you will have plenty of time to get this challenge thought up and created :)
I used this weeks Sketch Challenge (SC239) over on Splitcoaststampers for my card layout. It was perfect for my challenge idea.
I used my Amanda Points House Mouse stamp for this challenge along with patterned paper and some new Back to School goodies from A Muse Artstamps.
I love looking at close-up pics...so I left my pics on the larger side so you can really check them out. Just click the pics to zoom in. Amanda is colored with Copic markers this time around. I normally color them with pencils & gamsol - but wanted to freak you all out this week! LOL. And...another thing I don't normally do is cut out my HM images. But this time it was a must. I'm really picky about the little fur, so I took extra time and tried to cut out those little pieces sticking out all over the place!
The school lined paper is new cardstock from A Muse. COOL STUFF! And...the Solid Apple, Pencil and Sentiment are also new from A Muse. The main image layer is popped up on dimensionals.
I even stamped on the inside of the card this time. WOW!! I'm on a roll! ha ha ha. The line of ABC's is part of a new Clear Set from A Muse.
I can't wait to see all the wonderful creations made for this challenge. Should be a bunch since we are giving you a month to stamps :)
