I love House Mouse stamps!! And Jessica is always holding House Mouse ATC swaps. I try to resist but these little creatures are just so much fun to play with.
Well, I've used my 2 House Mouse stamps for all 3 of the swaps. I love them but just don't have the money to get any of the wonderful new ones. Then, what arrives in the mail but the cutest little HM stamp from Jessica :-)
So you just know I had to make a card with the stamp as a thank you !!!
I had decided that the mouse looked like she could be holding something... so I thought of the coffee cup in Sketch an Event, but when I took out the cup, the handle was on the wrong side!! No problem, I just samped the mouse (erasing the pointing finger) then I used my black marker to ink up just the cup (and not the saucer or handle) and then carefully lined up the cup to be in just the right place with the mouse's hand. Then I drew in the handle on the correct side :-) easy peasy!!
The background is an idea I got from Dini -- you have to check out her stuff -- she is amazing!!
Anyway, I heard back from Jessica and she likes the card -- that is good cause I really enjoyed making it!

I have this image (thanks to Twinshappy!) and I wondered what the little guy was pointing at. Putting something in his hand is such a terrific idea!!! I'm going to try this; thanks for the inspiration!!!!
