Spellbinders: House Mouse Spring Rain

Hi all :-) It's time for a new theme over on the  House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge,

This time April is hosting and the theme is 

Anything Goes 
+ the option of Ribbon, Cord, String 

Aren't they adorable! I realise that this stamp set is called 'Spring Rain' but I think its also perfect for Autumn/Fall cards, it's all about the colors ;-) 


 I colored with Copic Markers and used a Cloud Stencil and Distress oxide Inks for the background. I added lots of Star Dust Stickles onto the raindrops, and added some Natural Twine, in keeping with the challenge option ;-)  I heat embossed the sentiment onto Vellum and stapled it in place. 


and I used the extra scrap of paper to decorate the envelope




Thanks for looking! You have until Sunday15th October to join in! :-)

Such a pretty card! I love the sparkly raindrops and lovely sky. The cord adds just the right touch! Have a great week. xx

Another great new stamp from Spellbinders. I love the fall color theme. Your paper is perfect and I love the vellum. Having the Tim Holtz stapler is so perfect for cards and projects. Happy Fall! Now, I want some fall weather in my area here at home. [Bunny]

Hi Lorraine. Yup, we've been having spring rain just like your meeces. Always a lovely image with your usual beautiful colouring. Enjoy your autumn. CarolG

Sue from Oregon said...

Love your card Lols and esp the way you used the cloud stencil like that. I'll have to give mine a go by turning it around like that. I love that you are donating to Ukraine, that's really a cool thing. 💕Sue Kment

Fab coloring, image, papers, and twine - all combined to make a fabulous card with a delightful feel. Of course, with the draught we have had any card with rain is delightful! Fun card, Lorraine.

I love this sweet image. You have colored it up beautifully. Fun card for sure, especially the baby mouse catching the raindrop in his mouth.

Hugs
Sue
