It's a Mother's Day House Mouse Monday Challenge

Our HM&F DT's challenge this week was to make a Mother's Day themed card using House Mouse & Friends images for challenge #26. I struggled a bit as I challenged myself to not use flowers or ribbons and do something a little different. Then this is what I came up with....



Its simple again. (So not me) LOL. This thick glittery CS BG paper is a new Premium Glitter Pack from DCWV and it is fabulous. It shines so beautifully (though not much shimmer can be seen on this picture due to poor lighting and lack of an actual camera). Im taking these pictures with my iphone) Can you believe it? :)

The name of this Stampabilities, House-Mouse Designs Stamp is called" Time to Eat". I thought it would be so appropriate for a Mother's Day card. :) What do you think? Its from 2007, #MHOR1048. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up!'s "All Holidays" set. The main panel was diecut with Spellbinders and the center is popped with foam adhesives for extra dimension. The images are also popped and were colored in with pencils, chalks and markers. Rhinestones from Hero Arts anchor and finish off my card.

Thanks so much for looking & happy creating! America

  18. Cute card, It is such a shame that glitter and shimmer don't look good in pictures. I have the same problem. But your card still looks really good.
