Today's card was made with a NBUS House Mouse Stamp.
I love these sweet little mice!
I've stamped the image with Versafine ink on mixed media paper
and watercolored with Zigs.
The washed background was done using the wet on wet technique
and Distress re-inker.
I pulled out my Wink of Stella to add some shimmer to the butterfly
and added some tiny rhinestones to the trail.
Here's a close up that shows the shimmer a bit better.

ReplyDeleteSweet! Love that little mouse hanging on for dear life. :) He's having a great time flying! The butterfly is so pretty and love the rhinestones on the trail. Adorable card Bonnie! xx
ReplyDeleteAwwwwww...this is just too CUTE Bonnie! I love House Mouse stamps, but haven't played with any in awhile...need to rectify that after seeing this cutie!! You've colored the mice and the butterfly so beautifully, and am loving all the sparkle on the butterfly too! :0)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful fun card! Love the sky you created for the little guy to lift up up and away! Super colorwork too. Thanks for sharing with us at the House Mouse and Friends MOnday Challenge.

Bonnie, this is such a sweet image. Love that little house mouse and butterfly :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame we can't photograph shimmer - it's always so disappointing - I bet this is glorious in real life. Love that little image and of course your watercolouring is wonderful. Cath x
ReplyDeleteThat is one totally adorable stamp! And all the special Bonnie touches ...the orchid card base, the Stately EF (you "enabled" me to get that years ago and I so enjoy using it), the WOS and rhinestones for shimmer, and of course, the coloring of the stamp image. I absolutely love how it all came together!
ReplyDeleteAww...dorable, Bonnie. These mice are definitely cute. Beautifully watercolored. xx
ReplyDeleteThese sure are pretty colors! I like House Mouse stamps too -

ReplyDeleteHouse Mouse stamps are always adorable just like this one. I love him hitching a ride with that lovely butterfly. Your coloring is so pretty with the soft colors on the butterfly and the mouse looks so authentic. Cute, cute, cute!
