Last weeks SC 157



Ok, this is posted kinda late. I was planning on posting a beautiful card from a lovely friend in Sweden, and realized that I left the card at my Sisters house in Cambridge. It just so happens that she leaves for Palm Spring tomorrow and won't be back for a few days. So as soon as she gets back I plan to have her send it back to me. That's the problem with me and holidays. Whenever I go visiting, I leave a trail of things behind me at everyone house. Then I spend the next month trying to get it all back. This year I managed to leave one slipper from my son, 3 CD's that belong to the library and are due in 3 days, a card, a shirt and a book. How pathetic is that!!

Anyways, on to the card and less of my griping. This was my challenge card for last week , which I did this week. It uses those cute little House of Mouse images.

recipe:

Stamps: House of Mouse, PaperTrey cake stamp set, Lockhart mini cherries, SU Sanded

Paper : Basic Grey DP, Fabriano watercolor paper, Old Olive, Wasabi, Cranberry, Vanilla

Ink : Stewart Superior Hybrid black ink, Basic Brown, Ranger distress in Pine

Other : Re-inkers, Jessie James glitter dots, May art Ribbon, mini-thin pop-up dots, regular pop-up dots, circle punches, Spica glitter pens in red and Olive.

Sections of the mouse are popped up to add dimension, the cherry DP is made with stamps, everything else is self-explanatory.
