The theme for today's new challenge is HUMOUR and here is my interpretation:
I've used a 7x7 inch card for this and used a backing sheet from the House Mouse inserts CD from Joanna Sheen. The printable papers on this CD compliment all the lovely House Mouse stamps beautifully. I've had this particular wood mounted stamp for ages so it was nice to get it out again and use it on this card. I used to wonder how the faces on these pansy flowers were made - now we know! lol. The sprigs of leaves were die cut using a Cheery Lyn die and the main image was layered onto card cut using a Spellbinders die. I've used Distress Inks to colour the edges of my image and alcohol ink pens for the actual images. (I tend to use a mixture of Promarkers, Flex markers, Copics and Spectrum Noirs - I guess I'm just a girl who has to have them all!!!!!).
I do hope you will visit the HMFMC blog. There are some absolutely brilliant cards by the DT. I'm looking forward to visiting your blogs over the next couple of weeks to see all the fabulously funny cards you make. :-)
Don't forget to label your entry HMFMC119 so that we can find your entry and good luck as there are lovely prizes too. xx
