HOUSE MOUSE AND FRIENDS MONDAY CHALLENGE #92

Welcome to
 The House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge # 92

The Challenge this time is a sketch by our multi-talented, Scoopy Sue.
You can see the sketch at the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge blog



Aw, what a good friend this little mouse is!  I colored with Copics and sponged the ground and clouds with distress inks.  I decided to grunge up my card by distressing all the cardstock and designer paper edges.  I cut a small paper doily in half and stuck it on either end.  The flowers are Prima, folded in four and a little color added with a Copic Marker.  The leaves are a die cut by Sizzix.  The sentiment is by Inky Antics.
I sprayed the entire card with a mix of gold Perfect Pearls and water from a mini mister.  Click on the pictures to see the cool gold goodness!

Our sponsor for this challenge is Di's Digi Downloads.  The Prize, 3 Digi's!  A big thank you to them for their generous offer.

We would like to thank Dorte and Jennifer for the beautiful cards they contributed to our March Challenges as Guest Design Team Members. 

Please go see the design team cards for this challenge, you won't be disappointed, then get your House Mouse, Happy Hoppers or Gruffies out and make a card a join the fun.

The challenge runs through April 10th.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great Monday.  Until later.....................

That is so interesting. I have had liquid pearls in my stash for years and never used them. Going to get them out today and have a play day. Love the many details in your card.

Hi Sue, stunning card! Your shabby look is great, I couldn't imagine this sweet image could fit with this style, but it looks fantastic!

Thanks Sue for the comment on my blog. I did mean the Perfect Pearls. I just checked mine and they are Pearl EX, but I'll try them on a scratch piece of paper first. I think they are just about the same as Perfect Pearls. I am going to have to order some of the House Mouse stamps so I can play along. They are the cutest things.

Another great card. The bird is colored wonderfully. I always have such trouble with that. Love the gold mist.

Oh how absolutely adorable. This stamp is so cute. I just love hummingbirds and have only seen one once in my life and it was no more than just a blur.
Have a grand day.

Wow Sue this is amazing. How sweet and adorable that image is. Reminds me I need to fill and put out my humming bird feeders. I know they are either here or will be here soon. I want to put them out before they start flying up to my windows looking for me....lol I kid you not. Beautifully done. I love the way you did your flowers.

Bear Hugs,
