Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for We Love Stamping.
Starting with this challenge, we will now require At least one stamped element on entries. Those of you like us, who love to stamp, we would still love you to enter your fully stamped entry.
This month we
would love to see all sorts of Christmas Characters, from Gnomes to Robins,
Santa to Angels, and so many more that are familiar to us at this time of year.
A famous Christmas poem jumped into my head, when I saw the challenge theme. I went looking for a mouse in my stash and there wasn't one! So a shopping trip was made. I saw this little mouse on the web and just had to have him, to suit the poem I had to use, for some reason.
Anyhow, I stamped the mouse, made a mask for him, and using ripped paper and DO's, added the sky, then moved the paper and carried on adding "layers" of snow. I stamped the zzzz, then decided he needed more mushrooms, so stamped and coloured those. I didn't have a stamp of the poem, so I created it in Photoshop and printed it out and fussy cut it.
My thoughts were going everywhere and didn't think it looked finished, so I added a die cut frame, then added the layers to 3D pads and attached it to the base card. The poem was added after I cut it out and inked around it. Next I decided a couple of snowflakes could be added, so splotted some white pen. That wasn't enough, and a couple of die cut snowflakes were also added. Certainly a very different card to what I had envisioned originally, but I'm happy with it.

Hi Faith, that little mouse is adorable, I just love him, so cute and the position, on the mushroom is perfect. This is such a sweet card. xx
ReplyDeleteThat mouse was made for the poem Faith and you've made such a sweet card using both. That poem always reminds me of the Chevvy Chase movie Christmas Vacation, it's one that still gets played every year in our house.
