It’s time for a new theme over at House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge

April Showers

I have used a House Mouse stamp House Mouse HMOR1096 Special Delivery, I coloured it with pencils and used some Glossy Accents on the raindrops. For the background I did some smooshing with Oxides and then in grey ink I stamped some poppies.
I stamped, coloured and fussy cut some poppies to embellish my card, and added glossy accent droplets on them.

It’s time for a new theme over at House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge
Our Mousey sister April is hosting and her theme is

I have used the stamp with one of my favourite meals, Spaghetti Bolognaise!  I have used Italian Feast HMTR1061 stamp, it’s a large stamp with lots of detail which I loved colouring with pencils.  I layered this with 4 different layers of card and using a die I cut a frame to give it the look of a doily.

A Doggie And Ducklings

Hello and welcome to my Blog, I hope you’re all OK and have had a lovely weekend.

It’s time for a new theme over at House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge

Our Mousey sister Karin is hosting and her theme is
Anything Goes
Or an option of
an Easel Card

I have used this fabulous image of Soggy Doggie, I coloured my image and then used some crystal glitter on the water and suds.  I went with a vintage look, the background I created to look like the tiles from the old swimming baths I used to go to when I was at Primary School.  They were very old, it used to be a Victorian building and the cubicles had little wooden doors on around the sides of the pool.
The ducks are from an old Joanna Sheen House Mouse stamp set.
   

Of course you must use a House MouseHappy Hopper or Gruffie to join in.
