House Mouse Anything Goes

It's our anniversary today, this is the card for my hubby.  I do love how cute these little house mouses are, and there is always one perfect for any (or many) occasions. I used my Lyra Pencils again, enjoying them more and more each time. I scored my cardstock in a double lattice pattern...I've seen it on a few cards around blogland recently. My image is matted onto a satin silver card, and the square behind is a shimmer pearl, also matted onto the satin silver. I have added a silver bead to the crossovers on the lattice.
A Close up just because these little fellas are so adorable.

Anniversary Waltz

This is an Anniversary Card for my sister (and Hubby of course) who celebrate the end of next month...and yes it's made already.......whether or not I actually get it in the post on time is another matter of course. 
My Image is from Delicious Doodles, another of those I won with ATC's & Cards with Attitude. Teri at DD gave her permission for me to add the music background with my photoshop. 

The blurred object on the sentiment is a fimo hummingbird. In shimmering pearl white, it's just not showing up too well. 
 My crocheted lace trim.

Two by Two Anniversaries

Another Card in the 2 pairs of 2 pairs theme. I had an anniversary card for my Brother and also a friend this month. My friend's was a Sapphire Anniversary (forget how many years) so I made her the blue version below........then I merrily sent it off to by brother who's anniversary came first. I was kicking myself all day over that. I now have to send the red one to my friend for her Sapphire. 

My Image is from Digi's with Attitude. I'm sure my sister in law and my friend will appreciate the look on that little girl tigers face. I'm guessing the men folk will barely look at it lol. 

I used off cuts of embossed card from a previous project. My greetings are handwritten with sakura glitter pen, and then traced back over with a glaze pen. I glazed my red hearts, and the blue hearts below are glitter pen too. My shading is with Lyca pencils, ribbon and gems are stash.

The Blue version, my sister in law is no doubt wondering why on earth 
the hearts are blue...and just what exactly am I implying lol.

Easely Love, Love, Love.

Been A good while since I posted, I've still been crafting, bit by bit, but not had my head on straight enough to post...hopefully I'll manage to make sense!!

I made this Anniversary card for friends, a lovely couple. It had been a while since I'd made a white on white and I enjoyed making this one. Sorry the images are so fuzzy...you just can't get the staff now-a-days lol. It's a double easel card. 
 Image from a set by Penny Black. Called 'A Good Catch'. I stamped in black and embossed in clear, was a bit of a mistake as made it difficult to colour some of the tiny parts with my pencils....I used Lyca. I'm still not very good with them, but persevering. I dry embossed the backgrounds and then inked the raised edges and wet embossed those. I also went over them with mica spray.....I wanted it lovely and shimmery.

I found the sentiment online. Two great sites for verses and sentiments are Quote Garden and  Imag-n-ation. Imag-n-ation also sell great digi images amongst other things. 
My flowers are crocheted, I've put some of my lovely mother of pearl buttons as centres. 

 I have a little lift up flap for space to put my personal message, with another little quote, I quite like this one and thought it went well with the image. 
  The letters are made with pearl fimo, I used fimo cutters, and I've used a mica spray over the top.

Amber's Crafts & Stuff #18 Embossing.

A nice simple challenge for us this week at Amber's...Embossing. So show us your embossing techniques, whether that's dry or wet embossing, what do you like to do? You can see what the rest of the Crafting Pals did this week here. The winner this week will be invited to join us as Guest Designer during an upcoming challenge, we love to have you with us.
 I've gone with my beloved House Mouse again, coloured with a mix of blendable and watercolour pencils.  I so used to love those sweets/candy, when I was a kid.  I used to look for the not so lovingly worded ones to give to my brothers lol. 

This embossing folder is a new one I have,  by Tim Holtz, and my seam binding  and dew drops are from The Ribbon Girl. My die-cut label is cuttlebug. The cardstock and the sheet of white mulberry paper overlaying the card is from stash and the pin is handmade by little ol' me.
