House Hunting

It was my turn to name the challenge at House Mouse & Friends this week and I chose to go with ***NO COLOURING**** :). For me, that's like taking a mini-vacation from coloring mediums 'cuz I soooooo dont like to color! LOL!! Sooo, hurray for no COLOURING! Ya' cant color a single thing. So aside from stamping your images, dont use any chalks, pencils, inks, markers, or mediums - of any sort anywhere else on your card. DO use all types of colorful embellishments, DPs, tools and whatever else your little heart desires. JUST DONT COLOR IN ANYTHING! Nothing. Nada. :)

This is what I ended up with.....


I used the Stampabilities, HMD stamp called "House Hunting" on this. It is not colored. Instead, its stamped multiple times on different colored/textured papers, then the sections are individually cut out & re-pieced together for this look! Like Paper Piecing!! Silver brads, MS borders, a double key charm and black twill finish off my card. Not bad for no coloring huh?? :) IT CAN BE DONE!!! :) Now its your turn to give it a try!!! :) And dont forget to stop by our HM&F Blog for more inspiration from the rest of our DT & to see what they came up with for this crazy challenge at: House Mouse & Friends

Thanks for looking & Happy Creating!

  16. no coloring you say -- why would you ever, ever, want to color when you can make something this outstanding without?

  17. I LOVE your card! You did a truly awesome job, you are the master of intricate, detailed cardz - no coloring needed!

    I hope you know I'm totally kidding when I've been whinning about not being able to color for this challenge. It really was a GREAT and REAL challenge for me! I definitely need that sometimes. But,I have to tell you...I LOVE coloring way too much! (must be something missing from my childhood!):) hugz, Mary

  19. I love this so much! I've been trying to figure out how to incorporate newsprint into my cards. The theme is perfect and hits home as I am house hunting! ;)

  20. I could have sworn you cheated on your own challenge and colored your mousie, because he looks so colorful. Very clever, paperpiecing him. I absolutely love your layout. It's awesome. Thanks for a great challenge. It's causing me to think about what other stamps I could get away with not coloring. :) (The image I used is another one I got from you....I've really put those to good use. Thanks again.)
