I found this older House Mouse stamp called Lil Dino in my stash and decided to make a card with it for my friend's grandson who's just 3. I love that it shows kindness without being scary which is appropriate for the wee ones. I colored the image with Copics, adding touches of fluorescent Copics to the pumpkin and candy corn. The stars were done with a very old (r) SU! set and then colored in with gold and silver markers and glaze pens. Both the image panel and card base were die-cut with Lil Inker stitched rectangle dies.
The sentiment is by Tim Holtz.
I'm sharing this with the following challenges:
HMFMC#302 - A/G with an option of using a white on white background and coloring only the image.
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Halloween
Dies R Us # 131 - pumpkins and/or apples
the Male Room #122 - Halloween
Thanks for stopping by and have yourselves a great day!
