...the mice will play...


 It's time for a mid month reminder for our February Challenge at Stamping Sensations, the optional theme is Animals, Birds and Creatures.
I used some of my Lavinia stamps to create a little scene with some cheeky mice getting up to mischief. The background was created on the gelli plate using distress inks and brushos and I used watercolours to add some colours to the books.

Please pop over to Stamping Sensations for details of how to play along and the lovely prize on offer,  you will also find plenty of inspiration from the rest of the team.
Thanks for stopping by today

So so SOOOOOOOOO cute, Chris! Your story made my lips turn up REAL BIG! LOL Especially loving the scene in those magical "night time" colors come to life. The shading in your "sorting" hat (Harry Potter fan here) or witch's hat, is REALLY fantastical! Thanks for bringing mischief to its artistic heights! LOL Wishing you a fun week! hugs, de
