Lavinia Stamps, Distress inks and Country Companion Mouse stamp



Hello friends,

 My craft room of late, has been a little hot house, I don't know about yours. Even with a fan going it was too hot to stay and craft for long
 and the fan is no good when you're using embossing powders, as I found out to my detriment, lol.

Anyway, this is a little card and matching ATC, which I made whilst on holiday, for my monthly challenge, the theme this month is 'Animal'.

To my horror, when I looked through my rather large collection of stamps, I couldn't come up with many animal stamps at all.
As we were going away, I thought, it's OK, there's a craft shop in Poole, I'll get something there, so this is the only 'Animal' stamp I could find, not what I really had in mind, but............
(Note to self, buy some more animal stamps !!!!)


He is a rather cute image by Country Companions which I painted with Inktense Pastels, but used a lot of water as they are quite bright.


The card is 6"x 4", the background is made using lots of Lavinia Stamps with Distress inks, please check out Lavina, their stamps are so versatile and can be used on any project.


The ATC of course is measured 2 1/2"x 3 1/2", made in the same way as the card, I also added glossy accents to his nose, boots and the little bug.

Thank you again for popping by,
see you soon,
Hugs
Pauline
