It's time for another House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge!
It's week #65 -- and our wonderful leader Emma :) has provided us with a fantastic sketch. Create your project using this sketch with at least 1 House Mouse or Friends image on it. All the challenge details, prize info. and design team projects can be seen HERE.
The hardest part of this card was figuring out how to create the half circle in just the right size. I ended up using a compass. I was SHOCKED that I actually still have a compass! LOL! It's about as cheap as they come...not even a way to tighten the pencil in place. But...I got-r-done!
All my coloring is done with Prismacolor Pencils & Gamsol. Shading around the image is done in a pale yellow so it would match the yellow in the paper. I also colored over all the bubbles with a Clear Spica glitter pen. Then I added the tile stickers to make it look like a window. Topped it off with a scalloped border and ribbon for curtain. This is sooooo cool!
Have fun with the sketch! Can't wait to see what you all come up with.
