HMFMC146

I was fortunate enough to win the House Mouse & Friends Challenge twice recently, and one of the prizes was a gift certificate to the House Mouse store! As soon as I received the prize code, I ordered some new mousey stamps and they arrived in 2 days!! I decided the time was right to get one of these "great catch" stamps for myself since my friend Donna makes the most adorable cards with this image! I colored him with Copics, adding fluorescent inks to the baseball cap. The sentiment is by Simon Says Stamp - another great stamp set I won! The die cut is SB labels 25, and I embossed a piece of brown cardstock with a diamonds in the rough embossing folder by CB. The dsp is by K& Co and has baseball words all throughout, with the word "catcher" at the very top. I matted everything with teal cardstock and added some blue & yellow star gems for the final touch. Thanks for the inspiration Donna, and thanks to House Mouse for the great prize!! Thanks to Simon Says Stamp for sending me such a fun stamp set too!!

This card is for the House Mouse & Friends Challenge HMFMC146 - make a Father's day or masculine card.

That's it for me - 2 posts is enough for one day :)

    This card is the best I've ever seen with this stamp. I love how bright and colorful it is. Nice how you used the stars end the embossing with the stars. That b/g paper is ideal and really adds to the cheery feel. Neon hat- great thought and I love that sentiment. Thanks for the shout out and I'm glad you won both times at HM&F- you truly deserved both wins. Your cards were phenomenal, but then again I think all of your cards are phenomenal. It's raining to beat the band here today but I'm working all day so that's all right with me. Enjoy the weekend.
