House Mouse Rainy Day

 

The challenge is NOT A CARD.  I repurposed a big matchbox and made cards to go inside.  This is for grandchildren who are always saying "I haven't got anything to do".  I got ideas for activities from the internet.  Another matchbox shows what it looked like before.

HM Seriously Cute

 House Mouse & Friends #356, anything goes option of Something New

For this card, I used new stamps, both mousie and the background leaf stamp. For the background,  I spritzed the paper and the inked stamp (several shades of green) before stamping, so it has a watercoloury effect.

Cat's Clowder

 

The collective name for cats is a clowder of cats.  Who said that?  Surely it should be a purr of cats? or even a purrrty of cats?  I'm sure you can spot your cat in there somewhere.

I made the background behind the cats by masking the image, sponging with Distress Inks, splattering with black Decoart Media mist, and stamping the words randomly.  This stamp is new to me.  

Image Stamp:  Rubbernecker (new)

Sentiment stamps: Little Birdie

Also: Copics, Distress Inks, gold washi tape, black Decoart Media mist, Kindyglitz on some eyes.

House Mouse Bloom

 House Mouse & Friends #356 - Anything Goes with option of Something New.

A new-to-me technique of stamping and colouring on a coffee filter.  It hardly shows in the photo but the flower has 3 layers and is quite ruffled.  It is also the first time I have used this stamp although I have had it for a while.  The image is stamped, the background is sponged locally, then misted with Perfect Pearls.  The three coffee filters are watercoloured with D.Inks, dried, stamped, cut out, crumpled and applied in layers.

Image: House Mouse/Stampendous

Sentiment:

Also: Distress inks, Copics, Perfect Pearls spray, coffee filters.

Watercolour Flowers

 

A dabble in watercolour stamping.  And a sketch; I haven't done a sketch for ages.   (Oops,  after posting this, I had to change one of the pearls as I noticed it wasn't quite matching the others.  I had made the card at night and hadn't noticed.)
