Gingerbread Mouse
If you've been to the Stamper's Dream Blog, or to any of the Dream Team's blogs you've probably noticed that we're featuring Impression Obsession images this week. I've seen what everyone's created and they're all fabulous, so in case you haven't seen them, I'll provide links at the end of this post.
This sweet little mouse image is from the From Our Home Clear Stamp set. I stamped her with Tuxedo Black (Memento) onto Neenah Natural White and colored the image with copics. For the backgrounds, I used Versamark, Creamy Caramel (SU!), Currant (Adirondack Dye Ink), and the following fabulous Impression Obsession background images: Swirls (shingles), Thin Stripes (Middle panel), and Gingham (Background). I also used the snowflake from the stamp set on the background. It's hard to see, but there.
For the shingles, all I did was punch out 3/4" Circle (SU!) and layer them to match the shingles on the little mouse's house. I then added some sparkle with Ultrafine Glitter (Judikins), and some shine to the candy with Glossy Accents (Inkssentials). Finally, I added a button (PTI), some Ribbon (SU!), and some ink distressing with Walnut Stain (Ranger Distress Ink).
I made a card with another of these darling images, called Christmas Tree Mouse, awhile back. Click HERE if you're interested in seeing it.
That about sums it all up.
Now, if you'd like to see what the other girls have come up with, I've listed the schedule below.
