Darling Bud

  

Hello,

Today I have a twisted easel to share.

I made this using one of the pretty Darling Bud images from polka doodles, coloured with Promarkers.

I also used one of my favourite Nitwit collections papers, Authentic.

I embellished with a mix of mulberry flowers and added the matching darling bud sentiments.

House Mouse Wedding Stepper

 

Hello,

This is my first ever stepper card. I was recently looking through all of our house mouse decoupage sheets and came up with using the wedding couple as my main focal point by cutting them out, rather than keeping the whole topper, and decoupaging them up.

I used wild rose studio papers, matted on white. I created the heart by printing a sentiment and die cutting it in a heart shape.

I added flowers and pearls to finish.

Wake up and Be Fabulous

 

Hello,

Today I have a house mouse hidden message card to share, all inspired by the sentiment. I fancied making something a bit fancier after making quite a few simple cards over the last few months.

I used this sweet house mouse happy hopper image, coloured with Promarkers and die cut onto a circle.

I created the hidden message part by making a circular card, the same size as my image. Inside I stamped the rare earth sentiment.

The papers are from Anna Marie Designs blissful cocoa, matted on Brown and white. To finish I added lace and flowers, making sure not to cover the hidden message opening.
