Here Comes Presents & Simone Winner (Prize Alerts)

 

Hello and happy Monday! It was a dreary and overcast weekend here; today has begun the same way. I already miss the sun. If winter must come I hope it brings some pretty fluffy snow soon. Here is one more thing to look forward to: Christmas! That is the theme this week at the House Mouse & Friends Challenge Blog, and there is a lovely prize package up for grabs for one participant thanks to our Guest Design Star Jennifer. You can see the challenge and the prize right here. 

 

 

I stamped the House Mouse Mice Elves image twice so that I could cut out a few presents and pop them up for dimension. After coloring with Copics I added Liquid Applique snow and Stickles in Icicle here and there. 

The Ho Ho Ho sentiment is a Cosmo Cricket silver Metallic Rub-On. It is a bit hard to see in the photo due to the metallic shine but you can see it better in the photo to the left. I learned the hard way that this rub-on does not like Bazzill's Dotted Swiss paper which makes sense as it is embossed hard to stick to. It is also very fibrous - almost like watercolor paper.

The textured cardstock and ribbon is Stampin' Up!'s Red Riding Hood, as is the Ski Slope patterned paper. I tried to make the panel look like a present :)

I tried to do a faux airbrush look with the markers by coloring behind the mice with B00 Blue Frost and BG10 Cool Shadow, graduating the outer edges by adding layers of the same color. The very edge is B02 Robin's Egg Blue. I then used the 0 Colorless Blender to blend and lighten and get the airbrush "look". 

Be sure to check out the HM&F Blog to see what the other DT members have made for you this week.  Each week they amaze me with their fun and creative cards.

Suzy, I love your HM card. How very cute with the presents in 3-D. And, I love the "present" off to the side. I think I use the same ribbon on mine that you did. What a cute and cheery card! I'm also intrigued with the Toodles and Binks images. I was happy to see Carolyn gets to be on the DT. I'll be getting some of those, I'm sure....they're really cute!

I absolutely love your HM card. I am so excited I won the Simone stamp...thank you so very much. I did send you my addy through my gmail account but since it was going through feedblitz I wasn't sure it was going through correctly. So here it is again.
