House Mouse Challenge ~ Distressing

 

Happy House Mouse Monday!

Can’t you just feel the sense of relaxation this adorable little bunny is enjoying?!    This has always been one of my favorite HM stamps, probably because it’s one of my favorite indulgences – a nice warm bubble bath!    I seldom have the time to just sit and soak, but when I do, it’s just the best!!     So I can totally relate to how this cutie must feel!    The stamp is called Relaxing Bubbles, featuring Bumble.  

Our challenge this week ~ picked by yours truly, is Distressing.  

  

 

I’ve used Bo Bunny papers ~ Jazmyne Botanical and Raspberry Dot.   The bunny was colored with Copics, cut out and popped up with dimensionals on to a Spellbinders Nestabilities Big Scalloped Oval LG die cut mat.   I then added some Diamond Stickles to the bubbles.  The flowers are from Prima, spritzed with a little Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Mist, and the brads added to the centers are from Bo Bunny.   The sentiment is a ribbon label from Making Memories.

 

 

 If you haven’t visited the House Mouse Challenge blog recently, we excited to share that we have some MAJOR changes in store!!    Our fearless leader and originator of the HM blog has, due to her very busy life, decided to step down from running the show and will be joining us as a “floating” design team member!    I’m SUPER excited that the awesome Miss America has decided to step in and save the day!!   Yay.   She, with some help from me, will be the new Design Team coordinator.   We’ve also added FIVE new members to the team (including my dear friend, Sue from Oregon!!  This may be trouble!  🙂 )   We’ve got lots of plans for a new and improved House Mouse Challenge blog!  

I hope you can join us for this challenge, it’s being sponsored by Simon Says with an awesome prize available!   Be sure to stop over at the HM blog to see all the gorgeous cards from the DT, and welcome our new members. 

Thanks for visiting today – Hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day and weekend.
