FEATHER BED-HOUSE MOUSE CHALLENGE # 76 - VINTAGE


Close up of mice!



Hi, and welcome to the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge #76.  The challenge this time was chosen by our Teammate, Heather and she chose VINTAGE.  The challenge will run through Sunday, August 15th.  One lucky winner chosen at random will receive the HM stamp, Cast of Characters.


I chose the stamp called Feather Bed.  Love the little mice sleepily peeking out from under the hen.  I started with a gray base card.  I added a layer of weathered wood paper, then a layer of polkadotted paper by Graphic 45.  I stamped the weathered wood panel with a chicken wire stamp.  I stamped and colored the house mouse stamp with Copics and cut it out and mounted it on the panel.  A yellow gingham ribbon that I distressed and some yellow flowers that were pulled from a silk bush and a bow were added.  I finished up this card with four corner brads that look like screws.

There are some fantastic design team cards by my teammates at House Mouse and Friends, so take a look, then get your HM stamps out and join the fun.

Thanks for stopping by.  Until later.
