and for the House Mouse#44 challenge which was to use Paper Tole.
I used my Stampabilities Happy Hopper image, stamped in Stazon Jet Black on GPW, and colored with Prisma Pencils and OFMS. I stamped the image again and cut out the hat and cake to do my tole.
My base is Purely Pomegranate, then BG Euphoria, the scallopped panel is Cool Caribbean. I used the Happy Birthday CB EF and some K&Co flowers for my circle elements. Fun sketch! I don't usually go this bold and funky... the dp is quite busy... but I like the look and since our Church is calling for kid's cards and teen cards... I think this will work.
Thanks for looking! Have a great Holiday Weekend!
Take time to thank God for the freedoms we've enjoyed because people were willing to die for it! Thank Him for the blessings we've seen as "One Nation under God". Pray we don't lose that focus and therefore that blessing!
