I used a Scribbly Birds Media Cling Stamp Set to make a sunshiny card ;-)



I am looking forward to the long sunshiny days of summer and used the colours of the beach for my card. I recently bought some Mixed Media Cardstock and wanted to use it to create the background and for the image and I love how the colours absorbed into the card so evenly. I coloured the bird with Cracked Pistachio,  Twisted Citron and Picked Raspberry. The background was inked with Distress Inks and I made a mask using a Scribbles and Splatt Die and used that to create the 'Sun' with Embossing Paste and a sprinkling of Mustard Seed Distress Glitter.



So now it's YOUR turn, Happy Crafting

House Mouse 'Tails Entwined'

It's time for a new theme over on the House Mouse and Friends Challenge!

This week it's the lovely Kate's turn to choose the theme 

LOVE IS ALL AROUND 
of course you can always choose the Anything Goes option

I used this super cute Tails Entwined image, aren't they adorable ;-)


 I  coloured with copics and then carefully cut out the tails so that I could partially die cut the oval. For the background I used the larger oval die to cut out some Slate cardstock. I then stamped with a Drawn Hearts background stamp using versamark and then brushed some perfect pearls over the top. I also used a little of the powder to give the moon some shimmer. 


I am currently in the UK visiting family, so I will catch up with you all when I get home :-)

We are very happy to welcome back Heidi and Simon Says Stamp!
