WLS May#1 - All creatures great and small

 

            Good Morning all

Its the first Sunday of May so time for a new challenge over at We Love Stamping where the theme is 

ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL

So lots of choice there but you can always go with our anything goes option as long as you use stamping

Having hundreds of stamps suitable for the theme I decided to go literal and use some of the smallest and largest animal stamps I have and to lessen my choice even more I decided to use old stamps not seen for a while, this made choosing much easier for me, so to start with we have a little happy mouse

                              Card approx 5x6" Made from black card.  I decided to use this very old paper pad as the camera paper went with the mouse perfectly, so everything is from the paper pad apart from black and white cardstock.  

I stamped the mouse onto yellow paper from the pad and cut out.  I stamped the nose and camera again onto different colours and paper pieced onto the main image.  I used a pink alcohol marker to add colour to the tail and ears and a white gel pen for his teeth and eyes.  I then die cut the polaroid frame from white and the inner section from a blue paper, on this blue paper i once again stamped the mouse so that i had his whiskers in place, over this i adhered the yellow mouse.  Matted onto black cardstock.

I matted and layered various papers from the pad and added to the base card, adding the polaroid on top with foam pads at a jolly angle.  I cut the sentiments/speech bubbles and arrows from another paper in the pad.  

                                               

Just a close up on Mr Mouse.  Sadly Katzelkraft stamps are another stamp company that is no more.  

A Jolly bright happy card for either children or those young at heart cheerful adults and I smiled all the time while making it so its win win😁🐭
