Hi there! I have a card here that I wasn't expecting to share today, but along came The Paper Players Challenge with the theme "For the Little Ones". I had recently sat down with my Penny Black Especially Micey set and stamped, colored, and created cards. The others were shared previously, this one is the fourth and final. It feels good to have enjoyed every stamp in the set.
I colored with Tombow markers and blender, chose some old designer paper and coordinated all colors around that, including the Cougar Natural card base. Wishing I'd used white, but hindsight, sigh... Nevertheless, the stamps are cute. Penny Black never lets me down!

How cute! The wee mice are bound to delight both young and old. I like the layers in the background with the interesting textures. The bright pops of yellow keep things fun and your colouring is lovely. Thank you for joining in with my 'for the little ones' challenge at The Paper Players.

ReplyDeleteAnother cutie card from you!! Can you tell I'm playing catch-up on commenting. ;0) These little mice are darling and the polka dots are so fun. The flower is an extra sweet touch. You have the cutest critters in your crafty stash, Leslie.
ReplyDeletePAPER mice are definitely the kind of mice I like Leslie, and you are so right that PB never disappoints when it comes to cute and adorable!! Your blending on the mice and the wind up mouse toy is fabulous and I'm loving all the layers too! Sweet, SWEET card my friend!! Hugs. :0)

Those little mice really are cute. What fun to ride a clockwork mouse. I can understand how good it must feel to have used every stamp in the set. I am not sure that I have ever done that on a set with more than 2 stamps! Congratulations a great card xx
ReplyDeleteThese little mice are as cute as can be, Leslie, especially the little one on the wind- up toy. What wonderful coloring and texture! Thank you for playing with The Paper Players this week!
ReplyDeleteYour card is absolutely darling, Leslie! You can't beat PB critters for cuteness and these two mice are just so sweet! I especially like the little mouse riding on the wind-up mouse, that made me chuckle. Thank you so much for joining us this week at the Paper Players, it's always a delight to see your card in the gallery!
