The post title reminds me of an old song the Purple people eater, oh dear, a very old song when I think about it! This card is for House Mouse Challenge where this week there's a recipe to follow, the card must include ribbon, two buttons, felt and a scalloped edge and as I've followed Trina's great sketch (which I flipped) I'm also entering A spoon full of sugar. I really love this little hopper image which I've pencil coloured and blended with Sansodor. I tore the edges of a rectangle of black magic card to reveal the tan coloured side and mounted these over the spot and black check background paper, then a red card blank. The two side elements of the sketch are a strip of felt and on top a strip of ric-rac which combines three of the HM requirements as the ric-rac has a scalloped edge LOL! There's a little red punched heart and buttons from stash with a knotted string on each. Sentiment is white rub on letters. TFL. Have a great week. Back soon, Chris

Hi Chris. Your card is adorable. I love this image. I remember that goofy song, too. :) Your coloring is great and so are the papers and trim you used. Very cute card!
What an adorable card! I love the black gingham bg, touches of red, and your beautifully colored image!
Chris, the House Mouse stamps have never really appealed to me, until I saw this card of yours and the brilliant way you have coloured it in! I agree, it is a work of art and you are the Queen of Prisma Pencils!!!! You so inspired me that I went to check out the House Mouse challenge and I gave it a go! My First ever House Mouse card. I think you have me hooked on these sweet stamps now!!! You really have done a absolutely magnificent job with this card!!! Love it! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Hugs Tara G
