House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge

Hiya everyone,

It's monday again and time for another challenge over at the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge.  For any of you new to this, it's a bi-weekly challenge starting every other monday using only House Mouse, Happy Hopper and Gruffies images.

The theme this time set by DT member Heather is:-

Make wishes come true

If you are not new to my blog you will know that the little mouses are very much a passion of mine so I was very excited to be taken on as a new permanent DT member after my guest slots.

My card has been made using First Edition Dreamcatcher papers which are all gorgeous lilacs and purples which I had left over from a recent magazine piece.  The image is a Joanna Sheen Autumn collection one called flying.  I stamped out the mouse and butterfly and masked it off so I had just the mouse on it's own as a focal point so I could pop the butterfly off the main image if that makes sense.  

I coloured the image in with my promarkers and I layered up both the mouse and the butterfly.  I also added lots of glamourdust to the butterfly for extra sparkle.  I joined the two with just a little black thread from my sewing box (slight exaggeration of the name as I don't do sewing! Lol)  I have never tried this before but I just thought  it would make a change.  It was a bit fiddly and I did at one point think "is this really worth it?" - but I was quite pleased with the way it turned out in the end!

I have also used my MS butterfly border punch and added a few purple gems.  I didn't want to clutter it up to much as it would distract the eye from the rest of the card so I didn't add too much extra stuff.  The sentiment I printed on the computer and cut it out in a pennant shape for a change! 

I hope you like it!  If you have any House Mouse stamps or decoupage then maybe you could enter the challenge yourself!  I hope to see your entries!

I normally don't get chance to enter any challenges but I thought I would try and find a few as Tayla went to bed a bit earlier than normal!

Thanks for looking!
