House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge ,, Lets Get Fruity :-)


Hi all :-) I hope you are all fit and well and looking forward to another week of crafting :-) I really enjoyed the ATC challenge last time and will definitely be making more of them, fab way to use up all your scraps ! Your entries were all amazing and what brilliant ideas ,, it really is amazing how much detail you can fit into such a small space :-)

This fortnight it is my turn to choose the theme ,,,,

LETS GET FRUITY :-)

there are so many House Mouse, Happy Hoppers or Gruffie images that involve fruits that I am sure you will all find one to fit ,, if not you can always adapt and use fruity papers/charms etc instead :-)

We are sponsored by the lovely Judy at Pizzazz Aplenty, one lucky entrant will win a surprise pack of goodies worth $10 !! :-)

( I was lucky enough to win the Top Tip Tuesday Challenge recently and won a prize ,, it was fabulous ! lots of yummy goodies for me to enjoy :-) ,, thanks Judy xx )

We are also sponsored by K’nK Designs so some lovely digi images on offer too :-) Thanks K Joy :-)





For my card I used this super cute Full of Hot Air image, don’t you just love all the effort he is putting into blowing out the candle ha ha :-) I coloured with my trusty copics and inked the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink, I added a few dabs of Star Dust stickles here and there and glossy accents to the candle :-) I cut the image and a mat out using a Spellbinders Wonky Rectangle and added an eyelet to hang a strawberry charm through, the charm and beige twine was a RAK from America xx The papers are Basic Grey from the Life of the Party pack ( LOVE this pack ! ) I tied some Jillibean Twine around the card, made a bow and popped on a button, I then added some Hero Arts Blush Dots to finish.
