Masculine Mouse


I'm back today with another guest design card for the House Mouse
HMFMC#166 challenge, which is to make anything "masculine.

I love this little gruffie image and it's the most masculine House Mouse stamp I have. I pulled out some pieces of soft teal and bright yellow for my card. I colored the bunny with Copics, and added some punched stars done with a SU! mini punch. I put some mini yellow brads in the centers and it seemed to pull everything together quickly. The background paper was from my overflowing scrap bin, and the sentiment is by Casual Friday.

Be sure to check out the other DT cards today and find some masculine inspiration along the way.

Thanks for stopping by and make it a great day!

What a job guy card. Love the colors you went with on this one and that sentiment is perfect. Those tiny brads in the center of the brads really bring the start to life. Thanks so much for bringing us your talents by Guest Designing with us here at House Mouse & Friends. Have a fun day.

This is an awesome guy card!!! I like the row of punched stars with a brad in the middle, a nice touch.

I've been sitting around work trying to ponder what sort of "masculine" House Mouse I might have. I don't have the ones where they are watching football anymore... I must have something that will work though.

How did I get so far behind here, and miss all this fantastic enjoyment?! Love this little slugger and this is a terrific layout for the 'pitching mound'. Just cute as can be. TFS
