The Cutest Of Critters

Good morning and a very happy Saturday. Today I'm back over on the Lost Coast Designs Portal To Creativity with my trio of cuties for our Critters challenge.


I'm not normally one for 'cute' stamps, but these mice are just so sweet, and I reckon that with the right sentiment they will have real attitude!

I started by cutting my Rolodex cards onto supersmooth card and stamping my mice in brown. It's quite unusual for me to make one layer projects, but that is what I wanted for my meeces.


Then I added the sentiments where I could. Some of them are too big to be added whole so will be stamped and chopped up later.
 
The mice have been coloured with alcohol markers. I knew that I wanted to put a watercolour wash over the top, so I heat embossed the sentiments.

I've just added some colour by inking up a stencil, spraying with water, and laying on the page.

They can definitely smell cake!
She's my favourite. I can just imagine her with a rolling pin in her hand if Mr Mouse comes home late from the mousy pub! I know there's a bit of mousy stereotyping there but I'm very old school lol.


These are the stamps that I've used
Mother Goose Mice by Lost Coast and

Carmen's Veranda clear stamps



You still have a full week to join in with our challenge and show us your critters. They can be as cute or as badass as you like, they just need to be stamped!

Take care, have a very happy weekend, and thanks so much for looking xx

  6. These are fun and cute.
    I think the sentiments you've used are just so good :)

    Hope you had a good weekend.
    We had a storm during Friday night and some areas including London had flooding! The weather certainly seems unsettled at the moment.

    Have a good new week.

    All the best Jan
