Other: white mini rick-rack, cerise embroidery thread, mini tag, button, gems, stickles, copic pens to colour, sparkle pen, masking fluid, glimmer mists; cherry limeade and cherry blossom, sequin waste, nestabilities

House mice in flight

houseMice

The ukstampers challenge this week is for a tag with ‘H’ for house on it. This is my contribution with three house mice in flight. I selectively stamped the images then coloured them in. Smudged on some blue for the sky, then stamped the flourishes and flower. I then printed the words and dabbed over the black with white to soften. I distressed the edges a little for some of the white to show through then finished with the eyelet and the dome.

Inks: Versafine onyx black, Versacolor white, Colorbox fluid chalk ink ice blue
Card: white
Stamps: House mouse Geronimo and Flight delight, Basic Grey Flourish corners, flower (unknown), H from See D’s traditional alphabet,
Other: square clear dome, Sakura sparkle pens, glossy accents for the eyes, bronze eyelet, computer generated words, copics and lime pen to colour
