Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog Guest Designer Week 1!!!

Hi!

I'm so super excited to be showing you what I made for my first week at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog!!

This week the challenge is "Animal Antics" !!! Cute huh?!  I decided to go wtih House Mouse stamps because they're SO SO gorgeous.

As always, our sponsors are the fabulous, amazing


 
 
So here are my creations (yup, I made 2--just couldn't stop at one!)
House Mouse Thinking of you Notecard set
I just loved this little mouse image so much, as soon as I saw it in the store, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it!!

Here are a couple of closeups so you can see the different mice (I had to make them all different!).

The grey/black-furred mice :)
 
The redheads :)

The blondes :)


And for my second card, the stamp image is just so gorgeous, I wanted to leave the background (everything other than the image itself) very simple and muted.
 
 Can't wait to spend time together card
 
 
I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks to watercolour the image in.
Simply press the ink pad into your craft sheet, spritz with water and then paint!! I love the soft effect it gives!
On the inside I stamped the sentiment "Looking forward to spending time together" in Memento London Fog Ink

That's it for me!

Be sure to pop over to the Challenge blog now to see what the Design Team has made--I'm sure they'll all be gorgeous as always! 

And dont forget to enter your own creations, for the chance to win:


Thanks for joining me!

I'll be back soon with my Project Life weeks 1-4 spreads. As always, the products I used for these cards are shown below :)
