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.

Somehow I have never pictured you with House Mouse Stamps Susie - he he. Fairies yes - but meece - definitely not. You have coloured them beautifully and matched it with pretty design paper for the "frame". Wonderful. Hope you are cheering for the Canberra Raiders tonight - he he he - ha ha ha. Never heard of the other Team they are playing have you?

Love this, Susie! Your shading on those adorable mice is perfect; I love the stenciled background, and the tip about shading around the edges is terrific! I had to go back and look closely to see that it wasn't really a frame!
