I used Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Grunged and Stitches Cling Stamp Sets for the background and made a couple of birthday cards.


I used Ranger Watercolor Paper and a Mini Misti Stamping Tool to stam the splatters using a selection of Simon Says Stamp Ink Pads, Teeny Bikini, Key Lime, Lemon Chiffon and Orange Peel. I then used a Shadow Grey for the random letters and Maliblue for the stringy looking stamp. I have to say I do love this background and had a lot of fun stamping ;-)

I also used a new Simon Says Stamp Lil' Critters Boston Terrier Die and a Scripty Happy Birthday Die Set

House Mouse Little Drummers


Hi all :-) I am here with a reminder to please join in with the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge,

This time Dorte is hosting and the theme is 

Anything Goes 
+ the option of Add A Number


I used a new Little Drummers Cling Stamp and made a Christmas card but I think this image would be great for birthdays too!


I used a Misti Tool to stamp the image with Memento Tudedo Ink, coloured with Copic markers and then stamped again with Archival Black to add crist definition. I kept the design CAS and easy to fit into a normal envelope. Most of my Christmas cards are sent international so they need easy posting ;-)

The sentiment is from a Christmas Mini Clear Stamp Set 



Thanks for looking! You have until Sunday 16th August to join in!
