Today we're starting a new challenge at FarmQuest, and our theme is "Laundry or Ironing." Remember, we always want to see an underlying theme of farm or country in addition to our chosen theme for that challenge. I used one of my favorite ever House Mouse stamps with the adorable mice clambering over the outdoor clothes line (perhaps in a game of hide and seek?)
Do you remember the days when everyone hung clothes on a line? People who lived in climes where there's lots of winter rain or snow had a problem getting clothes to dry but with the advent of indoor clothes dryers, that problem was resolved. As dryers took over in every household, we lost the magic of the fresh smell of clothesline-dried sheets, towels, and jeans. :-D
I used an ice gray ink pad to stamp the image because it gives fainter lines (an illusion of 'no line'), then I colored the image with my Sanjoki markers. I cut the image with a QuicKutz die and cut the dry-embossed (Linen EF), brown CS frame with a die one size larger. The wood grain paper is from a Recollections stack.

Hi Connie, love the little mice in the laundry, being in Australia means only the wet and wintry weather stops us from drying our clothes outside. Thank you for joining us at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends, good luck in the prize draw...
