Buttons and bows

Here I am back with another House Mouse project. The current challenge over at the House Mouse Monday Challenge blog is Buttons and/or Bows. I had the perfect stamp for that and I am nearly late!



I stamped the Teddy Mouse Mend image onto Daler-Rowney Drawing paper with Memento Tuxedo black ink and colored the tailors with my Prismacolor colored pencils. I completed the background with soft pastels and fixed it with Krylon Workable fixative.



I then colored the needle with my silver gel pen and cut a slit on each side of Monica Mouse's hand so that she could hold the ribbon while Amanda Mouse completed the mending.

I then matted the image panel onto a panel of gold cardstock that I had run through a Darice Buttons embossing folder. This I in turn adhered to a dark teal card base.


Finally I glued down the ribbon so that it did not get lost and also white heat embossed a sentiment onto black cardstock. The sentiment is popped up with foam tape.

General supplies:
Daler-Rowney Drawing paper
Paperstudio cardbase and coordinating envelope
Gold and Black cardstock
Stampendous Teddy Mouse Mend cling stamp
Prismacolor pencils
Soft pastels
Silver gel pen
Memento Tuxedo black ink
Versamark ink
White embossing powder
Krylon workable fixative
Ragged edge and banner dies from my stash
