Each month I play along in the Progressive Challenge at Gerda Steiner Designs and this cute little mouse is the image for the September challenge. What better than a chocolatier working away the hours in his kitchen, especially when he's making fancy chocolates just for me?! I can smell the melting chocolate from here in the craft room!
This is going to be a birthday card for a friend who thinks that chocolate is the only thing which never disappoints. :-D
I colored with my ProMarkers and used a die from Spellbinders to cut the image. That die happens to cut the image and makes a frame at the same time. I took the image piece and fussy cut around the top 3/4, basically from the floor upward so that the mouse and his bowl were standing alone, with no white paper aroundthem.
I cut the striped 'wallpaper' dp with the same die, took the inside part (saving the 'frame' from that cut for another project) and laid the mouse image onto it. I inlaid the entire image piece into the white frame (from the original image cut.)
I used deep purple CS for the card front, wrapping it with a piece of satin-border, sheer ribbon. I added the framed image and the sentiment and called it finished.
