Mouse Mobile

I'm slightly ashamed to say that I don't think I've ever used this stamp before and I must have had it for at least 2 years. I tried to colour this one so it could be used for a man as well as a woman, and also decided to try colouring a penny black stamp with promarkers for the first time.

Products used:
  • Stamps - Penny Black
  • Papers - K&Co
  • Embellishments - Card Candy, Foiled Happy Birthday Message
  • Tools - Promarkers, Distress Inks
I am entering this card for the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge - Out of this World (I'm hoping that mice using a mobile phone qualifies) (Sun 1 Aug)

Gold Fishing

Products used:

  • Stamp - House Mouse Images, Stampendous Bubble
  • Papers - Hot of the press
  • Embellishments - Die Cut Corners, Card Candy, Clear Glitter Embossing Powder
