New House Mouse Cuddlebugs ,,,, :-)

Hi all :-) I hope you’re all having a lovely weekend and for those of you going to the Ally Pally have a good day,,,,, I wish I was there too :-)

I have made these 2 cards using the new House Mouse stamp of the month for March, this is called Cuddlebug ,, very cute :-)

For my fist card I followed the lovely sketch on the Seems A Little Sketchy Challenge.



I coloured with copics and inked the edges with Vintage Photo DI the papers are First Edition New Leaf ( thanks Debby xx ) I distressed all the edges and glittered with Platinum Stickles. I added some footprint twill ribbon and some hemptique twine. The sentiment is from a Simon Says Exclusives sentiment set.



For my next card I decided to make a shaped one :-)




I coloured the image using copics and inked the edges with Stormy Sky DI. I used a Grand Calibur and cut out a Grand Scalloped Circle from plain white card and a Grand Circle from Tim Holtz Kraft Core. I used nestie Ovals to cut out the image and mat. The papers are from Stampin’ Up and I added some hemptique twine and a lovely rose from a Prima Londonerry pack. The sentiment is from Hero Arts.



Thanks for looking :-) These 2 cards have already been received my my 2 friends Vicky ( who bought me the lovely stamp) and Scoopy who bought me a lovely birthday pressie too :-)

Both your cards are equally wonderful! I'm rather partial to the pussy willow overhanging on the shaped card, and your coloring of the meece is soft and perfect. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Kathy
