Joanna Sheen GDT Blog hop!

Image
By sparklingblackrose
Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well :-) I was kindly asked by Paula at Joanna Sheen's Challenge if I would join them in their blog hop as a Guest designer and I jumped at the chance! We had to use the same image and the fabulous autumn themed kit by Summertime Designs freebie kit 'Falling for Fall' found here. They have a fantastic prize of the entire Autumn House Mouse Rubber stamps or candy of gorgeous ribbons so you really need to have a go! :-)
I coloured my House Mouse image with Promarkers and Flexmarkers in coordinating colours to the papers, then cut round him with a nestie.
All I added to the lovely kit was florists ribbon, Kraft card, a wooden button, brown glitter card cut into a border and butterflies, and a dome greeting. I shaped the leaves by scoring them like veins in real leaves to add detail and realism.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Delicious Doodles Challenges: Fall/Autumn
Creative Stamp Friends: Autumn Colours
House Mouse Challenge: Autumn
Kaboodle Doodles: Autumn Colours
Marker Pop: Oldies but Goodies
Stamp with Fun: Autumn
Catch the Bug Challenge: Fall
Crazy 4 Challenges: Leaves
MilkCoffee Challenges: Welcome Fall
Crafty Creations: Autumn Leaves

Thank you for looking and for all your lovely comments :-)
