A Slice of Happiness

This is my second DT post today, if you are looking for my Ooh La La Crations card you can find it HERE.

It's time for a new challenge at the House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge, our theme is: Make it Masculine, chosen by ME - alternatively you can enter an Anything Goes card just as long as you use a House-Mouse, Happy Hopper or Gruffie image.

I have used a fun image from Joanna Sheen's Gruffies Slice of Happiness Stamp Set and coloured it with ProMarkers - I can think of quite a few young men that this image would be suitable for!


I cut my image out with a Tonic Oval die and mounted it onto a Scalloped Oval cut from Kraft card stock.  My papers are from the LOTV Country Gent collection and the Nitwit Collections Cottage Charm collection, the edges have all been inked with distress ink


The border is an EK Success edge punch and the sentiment is from the same stamp set on a hand cut banner.  I have also added a button and some twine from my stash.

I have a brand new stamp set the same as the one that I used to make my card for one lucky entrant.


and our sponsors for this challenge are:

House-Mouse Designs



Please check the challenge blog for full details.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Sweet Stampin Challenge - Masculine
Craft Your Passion Challenge 245 - Anything Goes
Stamping Sensation January Challenge - Dies and Punches
Passion for ProMarkers Week 279 - Teddy Bears
The ABC Challenge - B is for Buttons & Bows
My Craft Creations Challenge - Anything Goes

Thank you for popping in today, don't forget to take a look at the House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge blog to check out the fabulous DT inspiration and join in with our Make it Masculine challenge.
