This card is for my niece who just loves chocolate. Don't we all? This is also one of my newest stamps from HM. I just can't get enough of these little guys. More HM cards to come as I have lots more new ones.
I stamped the image's with memento ink on Manga paper and then colored with copics. I hadn't made a grey mouse with them yet so have made the middle guy grey. There's also a little grey mouse inside. Fabric paint was used for the decoration of the chocolates. Used nestability dies to cut the images out. I used a MS punch for the hearts. Coated them with Glossy Accents and then went around the outside with cotton candy stickles. I just received some new spellbinders border dies so used one under the sentiment. Sponged some pink ink to accent the embossed part. The paper is from SU & a paper pack. The brown & pink cs is from SU as well as the border punch along the top & bottom.
Thanks for taking the time to look at my card and enjoy your Sunday.

Oh Lynn- you sooo have my attention! OMGoodness, HM and chocolate? A dream come true! Lol. And your critters are colored just about the prettiest I have ever seen- love the shading around them. Your paper choices are delish! Love your attention to detail using fabric paint for frosting, and the stickles are yummy looking too. Your niece will love this! Thanks so much for sharing your work!

..What everyone else said. These guys are too cute!!! I have a hard time coloring them because so much of the HM images are already shaded. If I stamp in black then try to color them with Copics, it just seems to turn blacker. :-( Anyway, it's a terrific card with a whole lot going on. Thanks doing all that work and then sharing your explanations with us.

I love the HMs but just not patient enought to do the extensive coloring they need to give them the professional look you have portrayed here! These are just adorable and I love the grey mouse!
