Hello and welcome! A new challenge starts today at Allsorts and it's Lorraine's turn to host. For her optional theme she selected "Spots and Stripes" or you can choose the "Anything Goes" option. We have prizes from Stampendous for weeks 780 and 782. Next week we are celebrating Allsorts' 15th birthday and we'll have a special prize package for the special event :)
Thought this challenge was a good opportunity to use up some of my patterned papers that seem to be multiplying so I selected a few dotted and striped papers to see what I'd come up with. But in the end I went with just 2 thin strips of papers and made a CAS style card to keep the focus on the mice.
These cute mice are from the set So Sweet by Colorado Craft Company. I purchased it about a year ago but this is only my second time using it.
The critters were stamped with Memento Tuxedo ink and colored with Copic markers then I used a small circle die to cut each one out and added to the card with foam tape. The sentiment is part of the same stamp set. Before adhering the card front to the base I tied some jute twine around it. Some stickles glitter makes the treats sparkle.
