Gift of Me

Thanks to sponsor: simonsaysstamp

Stamp: Stampendous House Mouse

Coloured with Copics

Stencil:

Sentiment: Rosie's Studio

Tag die: NCraft

Also: Clear EP, Glossy Accents, ribbon

Stencilling on the tag is done with Distress Inks; stencilling on the base card is done with Versamark Ink and clear EP.   I like the subtle effect of the clear hearts which sometimes are there and sometimes look like they are not.

HMFMC #307 ANYTHING GOES with Optional Theme of Food and/or Drink

We are enjoying our southern summer (sunshine, beaches, cool drinks) and I thought those of you enjoying cold weather might like a touch of summer to remind you of what is coming.  These mice get up to so much fun - how do you like that spa pool?  And that fruit had to be lemons - look at those little faces!
