We Make Beautiful Music Together...

Surprise!! I'm back! 
It's been a while, and its been a few draining weeks since I was here last, so it's really good to be able to craft again. This is a mid-way reminder card for the ongoing *Humour* Challenge #HMFMC119, over at House-Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge Blog HERE. If you havent played along yet, I hope you will with this easy challenge. Most HMF stamps are not only adorable and great fun, they are also "humorous" because these critters are comical and often involve mischievous little scenes.  Or, simply use a FUNNY Sentiment with your House-Mouse & Friends, Gruffies, or Happy Hoppers. I used this adorable House-Mouse Designs stamp with the mice playing musical instruments and added the sentiment "We Make Beauitufl Music Together"...
The Scroll title "Mauschen", means "Little Mouse" ...
CARD RECIPE
Stamps: Stampabilities, House-Mouse Designs, "Mice Symphony" # HMOR1123, featuring Maxwell, Mudpie, Amanda, Monica.& Muzzy.  The sentiment and musical notes are from the See D's "Let's Make Music" #50092 set. The large Scroll is by Stamp Cabana - Marg Hjelmstad design, 1996.  I stamped the HM image onto the scroll and masked off the edges to make it seem as if the mice are in the scroll.
Paper: SU CS, White and Black CS,  
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, COPICS, Studio G's Orange Pigment Ink (for sponging), Orange Metallic Glitter Gel Marker (for adding sparkle to instruments)
Accessories: Spellbinders, Cuttlebug Musical Embossing Folders,  Silver Cording, Musical Silver Charms, Black Star Flat-back Button, Black and Silver half Pearls, ZVA Flourish Pearls, Ranger Stickles Glitter
This HMFMC119 challenge runs until Midnight, May 19th and there is also a fab prize from the lovely Heidi, at Simon Says Stamp.  One Lucky Winner will receive a $25 Gift Voucher Prize to the Simon Says Stamp Shop!
 THANK YOU for your great generosity and Sponsorship Heidi!
