Mr Mischief

Welcome

I had fun creating this card for a young boy...

I started by stamping the image from a NBUS Katzelkraft set  Les Rats de Villes 
I stamped the image and greeting in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and clear embossed them.


I then took my Kohinoor watercolour paints and had fun painting the image,  I 'grounded' him with some light brown paint.


I finished the 'floor' with a wee sprinkle of dark brown brushos, activated with a light spray of water. To my eye the resultant spots look as thought he has just gnawed the holes...


I then stamped BOO on the inside of the card, and carefully punched some holes so that the 'o's had the centre taken out of them.
 

I was very pleased how this turned out - I love those rat images, they have such wonderful expressions on their faces!

    Oh Maxine, what a fun, fun birthday card for a young boy! I love these rats too, don't own any, but think they are so much fun. As you said it is their expressions that crack me up. I too think your floor looks like he has gnawed through the holes! lol Way to cute!! Hugs, Brenda
