Thought it would be fun to play some challenges this weekend! ItÂ’s been a while since I pulled out a House Mouse stamp, and the challenge over at the HM Challenge blog was to use a favorite HM stamp. I took my coloring cues from 2 different challenges. Last week's Make It Colourful challenge was to focus on shadow and depth, and the Colour Create ChallengeÂ’s color combo is Strawberry, Chocolate, and Cream. I used reinkers for my base coloring then layered over that with Inktense pencils, using the Bark pencil to really deepen the shadows. Added a little dimension to the tea tag, and used some Martha Stewart glitter on the sugar cubes. The sentiment is from Impression Obsession.
One more challenge, and that is from the Shabby Tea Room, to create a card with a "keep warm" theme.

Wowsers! I love HM and this is just gorgeous. Thanks for the details on the fantastic colouring. I'm going to try and incorporate some of those hints. This is a beautiful card!
