HOUSE MOUSE AND FRIENDS MONDAY CHALLENGE #170 - SPLISH SPLASH - ANYTHING TO DO WITH WATER

A brand new challenge begins today at the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge.  It's #170 and is being hosted by our talented fellow design team member, Tracy.  

Tracy chose the theme of "Splish Splash"

Anything to do with water.




 I made an acetate card.  Photgraphed it with a black AND a white backround. These kind of cards
are so nice in real life, but to photograph is difficult.

Card Recipe:

House Mouse Designs, Stampa Rosa Stamp, Sandcastle
Colored with Copic Markers, Frantage Embossing Powder in gold and white used
in the sand.  Sponged water and clouds
Spellbinders die
White and blue bow
Inside, Yellow striped card stock is Reflections from Michaels
Water border is also Reflections from Michaels
Sandcastles punch is Martha Stewart with more Frantage EP
Sun is an old EK Success punch (one of the first punches I ever purchased)
Sentiment is old also.

ALL of our special themes challenges will also have the alternate option of an "Anything Goes" take as well. This will open up many opportunities for you to enter as much as you'd like without the worry of having a particular stamp to fit the specified challenge theme.  So have loads of FUN using any of the House-Mouse Designs® Stamps, images, CDs and Decoupage.

You did an outstanding job both making and photographing this acetate card. The focal image is, of course, darling, but I also really like that border punch. Fun, Fun, Fun. Have a fun day yourself.
