Sweet Little Pumpkin with Hallowhimsy & Copics
Here it is Monday and time for another House Mouse & Friends Challenge! This week's challenge is to make a Halloween card. If you do not have a Halloween House Mouse, Gruffies or Happy Hoppers stamp that's okay! Just use a Halloween theme when it comes to papers and embellishments.
I colored this Little Pumpkin image with Copic markers you see above. I usually go for blitz and bling, but wanted to keep his sweet little face the focus and to have a softer, almost watercolor like appearance.
I used the Copic Y13 Lemon Yellow and the 0 Colorless Blender to outline him. Yellow makes the orange really pop, and adds to an Autumn feel.
I like how it seems he is looking at the spooky bat! I used Imaginisce Hallowhimsy chipboard stickers and patterned paper except for the green bark like mulberry paper (not sure who makes that).
Be sure to stop by the House Mouse & Friends Challenge Blog to see what the other Design Team members have made for you this week. Come on, play along too!
One lucky person will get a prize: DT Member Mary is giving away 10 stamped images, 10 large & medium sized blooms & 10 metres of ribbon - the stamp line and the colors are based upon your preference!
Thanks for stopping by!

Wow, excellent job coloring. I never can get the shading right with these when using markers, but your is beautiful.

Suzy, this is so cute. This mouse is Muzzie (I've learned all the mice, and I know this one because he has a notch in his ear.) He really glows in his pumpkin costume. Very cute card. Your coloring is great - thanks for sharing the colors you used - and the ribbon is great with the whole theme, too.
