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.

Darling card! I love your choice of colors on this with the gray and teal...thanks for the shading tip. I just can't stop looking at those two sweeties...Glad you got a bunch of House Mouse images...they are so cute and even cuter in your hands.

I just love this cute card, Susie. I wish the mice that were eating the backup bag of potato chips in my garage last summer were this adorable. What a great technique with the Grey shading. It really looks like a frame. I envy your willpower to limit the colors...something I never manage to accomplish. Fantastic csrf...as usual.

Oh my sweet Susie, this is so adorable!!! How fortuitous to have received this as a gift, little did Ruthie know, it was a gift for our eyes! They do look like slender Hobbit feet. Love the added stencil dots, it actually enhances the graphic frame. Great reminder to color the cuts of our frames, this added so much dimension. You are so gifted and incredibly generous. Your personality shines through in each card you upload! Super duper hugaroonies mf!
