Animal Antics

Hi all, Hope you have had a good weekend! I have had visitors over the weekend, and I have another lot arriving on Thursday so I have not been bale to pop round and comment as much as I would have liked to.

This is my entry for Simon Says The theme this week is Animal Antics.

I have used a "house mouse" image which was sent to me by a friend and I have coloured it using my whispers pens. All the edges have bee tinted using "Distress ink - worn Lipstick & Shabby shutters" The background paper is "K&Co - Amy Butler- Sola collection" the little sentiment is also from "K&Co" I have done some Faux stitching..the twine wrapped round the card is DMC ( left over from a cross stitch I was working on ) and I have also used it to do some stitching on the image!

This is my first attempt at this style of handmade flower..I have added some dewdrops to the centre of the flower.

and that's about it....

  3. THat flower if fab Julia, works really well. Might need to give it a try when I get a moment - not what is one of them ?

    Problem is that with this crafting and internet restriction I have so much I want to do and not allowed to devote enough time yet.
