A helping hand

   The challenge for the next two weeks at House Mouse and Friends is ‘use your favourite things’. I have chosen Promarkers, an embossing folder, distress ink and card candi as my favourite things.

   I embossed white card using the Darice folder ‘Dots’, putting it through the machine twice in order to emboss the whole area. I then wrapped ribbon round the centre of this before layering onto pale blue mirri card and attaching to a white card blank.

   The image is from the Happy Hoppers set of House Mouse rubber stamps from Joanna Sheen and I coloured it using Promarkers. After inking the edges with distress ink and mounting it onto pale blue mirri card I added glitter to the foam bubbles and water and card candi to the four corners.

   I also matted the stamped sentiment onto pale blue mirri card and added glitter to the capital letters.

   I would also like to enter this card into the following challenges:

   Crafting Musketeers – pretty pastels
