House Mouse - Anything Masculine Challenge

Ive got out my House Mouse decoupage shelters for the Anything Masculine Challenge. I can't help but smile at the antics of these little guys. I know quite a few guys that love chillies which is why I picked this design. After fussy cutting all the decoupage pieces I used foam dots to build the decoupage, inking all the edges first. I then matted onto a black piece of card stock then onto a red base card. I used one of the sentiments that came with the decoupage sheet and added some chilli stickers and some gems.

Paper Smooches March 23-29 Designer Drafts Challenge

I'm really, really happy with this project that I'll be submitting to the Paper Smooches March 23-29 Designer Drafts Challenge. I've used the awesome Paper Smooches SPECTRUM stamp set. I've started with an orange base card then matted it with a Kaiser journal card. I've then printed and painstakingly cut out a film strip. I've stamped the unicorn and sun out and coloured with Copic markers and fussy cut them out, and stuck them onto the card with foam dots. I've stamped the 'wishing you sunshine and rainbows' sentiment into the first part of the film strip. I've added some decorative tape that I found in my stash to finish off.
