Hello everyone! Happy Sunday... and happy featured stamper day! Today we honor a fabulous stamper... America... cards_by_america. What an awesome gallery! I love her house mouse cards, and decided to use one for today's challenge. I chose this card to case:
My image is a large one and I did not feel I could add the ribbon at the bottom without losing the water in my image, and really I tried to get a ribbon in several places and could not, so I omitted the ribbon. I used a different stamp but still used a house mouse stamp, and I added dew drops and a sentiment that was stamped in Old Olive and punched with the word punch. The image itself is colored with Prisma Pencils and blended with Odor Free Mineral Spirits. Stickles were added to the flowers and a glitter pen gives just a hint of sparkle to the eyes of each critter.
I could never come close to America's card... but I so love her style and I hope she will be pleased with my attempt.
Thanks for looking and thank you so much to those encouragers who always leave such warm thoughtful words! I can't tell you how much they are appreciated!!!
