Another House Mouse Challenge Entry!

I decided to do another House Mouse card since I needed a birthday card! I used Poppin Good Birthday and this card will be an Anything Goes entry on House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge (HMFMC190).
I wanted to try a background technique using Distress Inks that I had seen on UTube. I love how it turned out. I colored the image with Copic Markers and added a little Glossy Accents to the eyes, nose, and candle flames, then attached the image to the Distress Ink background with mounting squares. I tied coordinating floss onto the background piece. I stamped the sentiment from a set of Fiskars sentiment stamps. I stamped the white cardbase with the same Distress Inks using Stampin Up Gorgeous Grunge.  Last I mounted the distress ink background piece onto the cardstock base with mounting squares and added some sequin stars as a finishing touch.

Also entered in Simon Says Anything Goes Challenge

House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge

House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge (HMFMC190)I love my House Mouse stamps so this challenge interested me a LOT! The challenge is to CASE this card (isn't it cute!).


To CASE a card is to Copy and Share Exactly. I followed the basic concept of using pieces of a House Mouse  image along with a sentiment. Only I took one single image and divided it into 4 sections. I used the stamp 'Butterfliers' along with the sentiment offered as a freebie by Snoopy's Homemade Fun.

I ran the turquoise cardstock through my Big Kick using Stripes embossing folder. I used my Copic markers to color the image before I cut it into 4 pieces and backed each one with brown cardstock. I mounted the sentiment in the center with mounting tape, added some Wink of Stella highlights to the butterflies, and  finished off the card with a few sequins. It was a fun card to make!
