Happy Tuesday friends! The boys are keeping me busy with their track meets and such so it looks like my meals are going to be made in the crock pot so they can cook all day! :)
As I've shared in my post with you yesterday..I love many different stamps and I have another favorite stamp line that I just adore. I love the House Mouse stamps and you may be seeing some creations using them pop up here and there on my blog. I have another one to share with you today:
LOL!! Does it look like he's floating in the rain and dropping in on the flowers below?! Well I hope so because that was the look I was trying to go for!! :)
I made this card specifically for the House Mouse & Friends Challenge which was challenging us to use our House Mouse stamps and create a theme of "Way to Go/Traveling". I have to tell you that I do have a few of these critters, but I had a REAL hard time trying to find something that would work for this challenge! So this was about the jest of what I could come up with! When you get to looking at your stamp collection, you start seeing different possibilities with them. The floating mouse you see came from a House Mouse set I bought called Daffodil. (an unmounted set.)
The rain drops and sentiment are from a really cool stamp set that I purchased from Flourishes called April Showers and the flowers below are a series of repetitively stamped flowers from the gorgeous Whimsy Stamps set called Darling Daisies. I colored them and cut out the row of flowers and attached over top of my card. Perhaps you can see the shine in the center where I've added some Crystal Effects. I've also added some glitter to the rain. I like the way it turned out when I finished.
Here are the challenges that I've entered:
House Mouse & Friends - Way to go/traveling
Just Add Ink - add a flower
Crafts 4 Eternity - anything goes
Totally Papercrafts - glitter
Stampin' Sisters in Christ - no decorative papers
Craft Your Passion - anything goes
So what ya think? I sure hope that you're not feeling like this poor mouse in the rain! LOL! At least he has some pretty flowers to land on! Thanks for stopping by! I sure love reading about your thoughts!!
Have a great day!

Well, I believe you really pulled off what you were trying to create! That dear mouse does look like he is floating in the air using the flower as his parachute to land in the bouquet below! Love the rain...simply beautiful card Vicki!
