Monochrome House Mouse

This is my second post today - if you are looking for my Bearly Mine Inspiration card you can find it HERE.

It's time for a fabulous new challenge at the House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge, this fortnight our theme is: Do Not Colour Image hosted by America - this doesn't mean use only black and white, it means you can have colour(s) everywhere on your project, or no colours at all, just DO NOT COLOUR in/on the image itself.  Just make sure you use a House-Mouse, Happy Hopper or Gruffie image to join in.

I've used a fabulous digi stamp from Joanna Sheen's House-Mouse Triple CD, I have cheated a little and added a little splash of blue but it is not on the actual image it is a decoupage layer.


The papers are from the Dovecraft Back to Basics Monochrome paper pack and the sentiment is a Pink Petticoat sentiment cut out with a Spellbinders Banner die, I have inked it whilst still in the die.  I punched a border with an EK Success border punch and added some black pearls from my stash.


This fortnight we are sponsored by:

  23. I really like the theme of this challenge. A non colored image can look really beautiful, I think I've only tried it once, by stamping onto a DP, I loved how it turned out. Your little touch of color is brilliant with this image, and your card looks fab!

  27. Fun challenge - I may have to come play. Your image is wonderful and I love how you colored only that tube of paint. Cute card my friend. I would say that I wish they would come visit and help me color, but last time they came to visit it wasn't so much fun (LOL). Cute! Hugz!
