This is my 2nd Elf Bell Mouse from Whimsy card...#3 is coming tomorrow, but you can see #1 on the OCS DT Blog today HERE. I wanted to make some cards for my daughter's teachers and actually finish them this year. I always end up pulling cards from last year's stash because I perpetually leave things to the last minute...does anybody else do that? I really don't colour a lot of animals. I don't know why perhaps it's just because I love to colour images of people. Oh well I'm going outside the box for 2012..I'm getting a jump start now!! On each of the three cards you will notice I coloured the mice with a different set of colours, I'm not too sure which one I like the best. But I am practising with the mice because I want to get going on some House Mouse cards..so stay tuned for those.
This little guy is coloured with Copic's using the following colours.
Mouse - C6, C5, C4, C3, C1
Bell & Hat - BG13, BG11, BG10
Ribbon & Hat - R85, R89, R83
Ears, Hand, Tail & Feet - E00, E21, E11, R20
Misc. Supplies - I loved the new Notables Sentiments and matching Noteables 1 from Whimsy, patterned paper is Winterland from Fancy Pants, I used the Burnished Velvet Technique to complete the background behind the mouse with Cranberry (Winter Collection) & Ice Blue Glitter Ritz. I also used the Spellbinders Beaded Circle and Standard Circle dies. Oh yes I also through in some Ultra Fine White Flower Soft, Kaiser Craft Snow Pearls & some misc. Organza ribbon to finish it off.
Don't forget about the OCS Blog Challenge this month, we have a great stamp set up for grabs called Be Jolly from Our Craft Lounge. You can find the challenge HERE!
Thanks for visiting and don't forget to let me know what you think...please be kind!!
Cheers,
Ooh...that little mouse is adorable here too! I love the red on this one! Thanks, Lora! :)
