Oh my goodness ,,, what a fantastic response we had the 'N' Challenge :-) I think we must have had a record turn out ,,, will have to check that with Vicky !! :-)
This week the theme is 'O' for ONE PAPER :-)
We are being sponsored this week by Wendy from the Secret Crafter :-) Also we are looking for a new designer to join the team ,, so if you're interested join in !! :-)
For my card I decided to get down n dirty with Tim !! :-) I love to make backgrounds using Tim Holts distress inks ,,, and also alcohol inks ,,, but is something I should do more often ,, I love the fact that no-one else will ever make the same ,, it is individual :-)
I used Dusty Concorde, Faded Jeans, Shabby Shutters and Antique Linen inks for this When I was happy with the colours of the background I used a Tim Holtz mask and then applied more Dusty Concorde ink with a blending tool to make a cool design :-) I really enjoyed this :-) FUN !! :-)
The image is ,,, can ya guess ,,, YES !! A fabulous House Mouse Stamp !!! Isn't this cute :-) This stamp was a gift from Heidi at Simon Says Stamp ,,, she knows me well :-) Thank You Heidi :-) x x
Have you seen all the latest HM stamps ,,, Happy Hoppers and Gruffies too ???? Oh my goodness ,, they are soooo cute !! Heidi has just got them all in stock !! I NEED them all !!!!! :-) You can see them HERE :-)
The flower is Prima which has been sprayed with Pearl Glimmer Mist. the ribbon is from my stash and I used a few Robin's Nest dew drops too :-) The sentiment is from a Simon Says Stamp Exclusives set :-)
I will be offering one of the new Stampabilities ( House Mouse) as my fortnightly candy and will be linking it with THIS Challenge ,,,, SO !! I will have a candy post at the top of my blog with one of the latest releases ,, so if you would like a chance to win it you HAVE to join in THIS challenge :-)
