Welcome
Some time ago I won a House Mouse image from Mia in her Birthday giveaway - I love these images and I was so happy to (finally) receive this one this past week, which I inked up and coloured in very short notice :)
I coloured it with my Faber Castell Polychromo pencils. I wanted it to take the eye, so I framed part of it with a snippet of purple card, then mounted it on the lemon coloured card base
The sentiment was stamped using CP Rouge ink, and the rhinestones added top and bottom
To add a wee bit more bling, I layered clear WoS over the violets.
The inside was decorated with some washi tape.

A new stamp
This is for a young girl
The image is new
House Mouse stamps are always a delight Maxine and this one is no exception and you have coloured it beautifully. The Violets are a lovey element, one of the first signs os Spring here in the UK and always take me back go my childhood picking them from the hedgerows around the farm.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to see you at We Love Chocolate Baroque this month, thanks so much for joining in.

ReplyDeleteA beautiful card Maxine, and so prettily (and skilfully) coloured in. I am trying to come to grips with Polychromos so could do with a few lessons from you.
