House Mouse

Here is another House Mouse card:

This is another image that I printed off from a House Mouse cd rom but because it was a long time ago I can't remember which cd it was 😕 it might be the triple cd.

The backing paper was also from the cd and I very bravely used my sewing machine to stitch around the edges - please don't look too closely as its not very straight!

I also used some glitter and Stickles for sparkle.

Spellbinders Flower Cart - Mothers day card

A change from a House-Mouse card today:

I have broken my no new craft items spend with this die from Spellbinders - Flower Cart. In fairness I had saved lots of pennies so I thought why not! I used Make & Create Vintage Romance papers and Crea-Nest-Lies - XXL ticket square die. I wanted to make the sign into a chalk board so I heat embossed a Stampin Up! sentiment (Heartfelt hello's) in white embossing powder and then added a bit of chalk around it. I cut the flowers from lots of snippets of coloured card and added Stickles and liquid pearls to the centres. To finish off I added some candy dots - remember those?!

challenges:

Pixies snippets playground challenge - (must use snippets) here are the snippets I used:

I didn't end up using the pink one on top but used other green snippets not photographed!

Simon says stamp Monday challenge Transport it - I figured my cart transports flowers!!

thanks for stopping by and I hope you manage to find some craft time today!
