1st House Mouse and Friends Challenge card!!!

Hiya everyone,

I am soooo pleased to share with you my very first challenge card for the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge.  For any of you that missed my previous post, I was asked to be a guest DT for the challenge and a few days later I was asked to join the normal team.  I adore House Mouse and have lots of stamps so it took me all of a nanosecond to say yes! 

The theme this time is "Black and White" and has been chosen by America.   I have used this gorgeous HM stamp which is a wooden stampabilities stamp that I have had for ages and never had chance to use it!   This challenge has be sponsored by Di's Digi Downloads (click on the piccie for a link)

I am one of 5 new DT members and I am so pleased to have joined the team.  The House Mouse and Friends monday challenges run every other monday and a House Mouse, Gruffies or Happy Hopper image must be used (decoupage sheets are ok too).  As part of the next challenge there will be a blog hop and lot of prizes up for grabs so be sure to check us out!!!

I have coloured the image in with my promarkers and added some glossy accents to the lipstick and coloured in the mirror with my sakura clear glaze pen.  The papers were remnants from a papermania black and white 12 x 12 lot that I'd had for ages.  The lipstick charm I bought from primark for £1.  It has a lobster clasp which is nice as it can removed and kept as a keepsake.  The piccies aren't great I'm afraid as my camera has died and I had to take this with my new phone (which I'm still working out how to use! Lol)



The swirl is the new magnolia one that I treated myself to with christmas money.  I need to make the most out of it as I think £18 is so expensive especially when you can get a full set of nesties cheaper!  The roses and black lace are from Wild orchid crafts.

I have also accepted another DT position in the last few days which I am also sooooo excited about but I am keeping it to myself at the moment as I'm still in the process of sorting it all out!

Thanks for looking!

    It's gorgeous Paula. Love the black and white theme with just the lipstick adding a hint of bright colour. The magnolia flourish will come in very handy for loads of themes, it'll be worth the money! (Remember what Mr H said about your wedding make-up, if it makes you feel special it's worth it!) x

    Hi Paula,
    Oh this is just lovely. Beautiful choice for black and white theme and so well coloured. I think you have done yourself proud for your first card as the new DT member.
    Congratulations on the other DT selection too, hope you will let us know pretty soon, who it is for. It sounds like 2012 is a good, but busy year for you. Can't wait to see what you do next.
    All the best. Linda
