It's that time again for a brand new challenge over at the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge blog. We are also celebrating the fact that we have now reached 1000 followers which is FAN-TAS-TIC!!!
The new challenge this time is
Liquid refreshments for those hot sunny days!
As usual we have some fab sponsors which are:-
Here I used the Joanna Sheen HM stamp set called "chill out" which you can buy here. I have stamped the image several times in order to layer it up for a bit of added depth. I have coloured the image with my promarkers although I did cheat a little and only coloured in the bits that you will see nicely with all the shading etc.
The papers are from the new Wild Rose Studio Strawberry Picnic paperstack which is lovely and summery but not overly bright if you know what I mean! I have used a few fabric flowers and a bit of seam binding tied in a knot (I suck at bows big time!) My last few House Mouse DT cards have been quite clean and simple (mainly due to lack of time and inclination if I'm honest) so I really spent a bit of time on this one. I hope you like it!
As I said before we are celebrating at the HM & F CB so the majority of the HM DT are offering personal candy from their blogs (as well as the normal challenge prizes!).
In order to be in with a chance of winning MY candy you MUST enter a card into the "Liquid refreshments for those sunny days" challenge that starts today and you must be a follower of both MY blog AND the HM & F CB and leave a comment on THIS post.
Other HM DT's candy may have slightly different requirements so please check on the individual blogs.
My candy is this fab set of Joanna Sheen Christmas stamps called "Gingerbread house"
This candy will run for 2 weeks and I will announce the winner with my next HM & F DT challenge card. If the winner does not come forward within 7 days of posting I will draw a new winner.
So cute and pretty! I like how you popped up the mouse's head and flower. Great layout. Love the pink lemonade too!
