This is for Toni's fun Ways to Use it challenge - FEET!!
I received a gorgeous Teapot Tuesday tickle card from Ruthie this morning and she surprised me with lots of fabulous House Mouse images. How perfect is this image for Toni's challenge!!
I coloured the image with Prismacolour pencils and added a few streaks of grey with an alcohol marker. Next I sponged on a few dots using a stencil.
To give the illusion that the image is framed by the DP (and not just stuck on top of it) lightly run a foam blending tool with grey distress ink around the edges of the image, before adhering to the DP.
Thank you for looking.

Oh, oh....I think I may have to begin naming mice. Your House Mouse mousies are Cute-tastic! I assume little Roquefort is attempting to autograph Cheddarly's cast. He might want to try a pen next time he does this. Looks as though he's had a few bad starts.
I love the dots and the shadowing!!! And what a Great dp choice! Thanks so much for the frame illusion tip! I'm eager to try that. It really looks dimensional! Very Excellent!

First, I saw House Mouse in your title and was hoping that meant you had got some in your tickle! What perfect timing for it to arrive, this is certainly spot on for Toni's challenge. Your soft colouring is fab. I especially love the stencilled dots and matching drawing on the plaster cast. I think the House Mice feet are the closest we will get to Hobbits this week.

Not only is your coloring fantastic on this but I just love the way you shadowed the frame, making it appear as if it were inset! what a great card, Susie! You always add something to your background to make your artwork special!
