Bookmark

Good evening!! So I just had a big palm to forehead moment.  I was sitting here talking with my 11 year old daughter about the fact that school starts tomorrow.  Then it sinks in... she starts school on Tuesday which means today is Monday (palm to forehead). Monday is the day that the new challenge at House Mouse And Friends Monday Challenge posts. This means (because it is now 7pm here in Maine) that I have missed posting my last Guest Designer project!!! (AHHHH!!) Ok... deep breath...relax..so you're a little late.  Things happen.  It'll be ok.  So having said that I hope my project was well worth the wait........

Today's challenge is Back To School.  So since I don't have any school themed House Mouse stamps I decided to make a bookmark using this adorable new stamp that I bought during my last trip to Hobby Lobby. This image is called Blowing Bubbles.  Isn't it just one of the cutest images you've seen?!?! But then again House Mouse images are extremely adorable!!


I stamped the image directly onto Spectrum Noir Smooth card stock and colored it using Spectrum Noir pens.  I added strips of blue glitter washi tape. I backed it onto a piece of blue card stock.  Then I took a piece of white card stock slightly larger than the bookmark and covered the edges in the glitter blue washi tape and added it to the bookmark.

Flower Power

Hi! I am back with my next HMFMC Guest Designer card.  This week's challenge is FLOWER POWER.



The image is She Loves Me and I colored it using Spectrum Noir Pens.  I used a corner rounder on the image and an eyelet lace border punch for the lace.  The glittery silver is washi tape.  To add it around the image I simply took a square piece of card stock and added the washi tape to the edges, added the image to it and cut around it.  The flower is a purple glitter silver flower button layered onto a teal mini paper daisy and then layered onto a white paper flower.
