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

Today I made these two ATCs for the UKstampers Sunday Challenge No. 22 the theme is Elements: make two ATCs using the same colour palette but different stamps.
I chose the weather element WIND.

Inks: Archival coffee, Adirondack woodlands, ColorBox ice blue chalk ink
Colouration: Prismas; reds, browns, yellows, oranges and greens (and Sansodor)
Stamps: windswept tree silhouette, Fall commuters, nature quote (aspects of design 25 rambling1), small twig and leaves, birds, free leaf stamp

I added a few cut out leaves around the edges of the House mouse one and some small cut out leaves to form a pile in the windswept tree ATC.
