It is time for a new theme over on the House Mouse and Friends Challenge ,,, this week DT Heather chose the theme and she chose
VINTAGE :-)
We are sponsored by our very own Mary whos is generously giving away this very cute Cast of Characters stamp to one lucky entrant :-) You have until the 15th August to enter ,,, so plenty of time to join us :-)
I am not very confidant with 'Vintage' but a challenge is a challenge and this is how we learn eh !! :-) I need more practise :-/
I used my lovely Purrty Nails House Mouse stamp :-) I coloured the image with copics and coloured the edges with distress ink. The papers are Tim Holtz Shabby Vintage and I got out my sewing machine and sewed around all the edges. The pearls are from Prima, Say it in Pearls with Roses
The ribbon was on a bouquet of flowers hubby bought me for my B'day. I used a Martha Stewart border punch and added a few gems to finish :-)
Challenges :
Always Playing with Paper ,,,,,, Vintage
Dutch Dare ,,,,,,, Anything Goes
Stamptacular Challenge ,,, Out of this World,, you would never see a mouse painting a cat's nails eh !! :-)
Daring Cardmakers ,,,, It's a Girls Thing
thanks for looking :-) The DT have made some gorgeous creations for you to see so hop on over to the House Mouse and Friends Challenge to see them :-)

So adorable Lols! I'm stumped with the vintage challenge and need to think about it. Vintage isn't my thing and I always struggle with it. Now to figure out which HM to use. THANKS for the great inspiration.

Hi Lorraine! Well, better late than never!! I've finally had time to visit your blog to comment on your wonderful vintage HM card!! I love this image and it's so perfect for this challenge. You did an awesome job coloring these cuties! I love your card. hugz, Mary
Gorgeous. Love the fact that the focal image looks like an art piece and the ribbon is hanging from it - certainly has that vintage feel. It really is an adorable image and you really made it work into the vintage theme.
Thank you for joining the Paper Players this week
