Happy House Mouse Monday!!
It’s definitely been way too long since I’ve said those words.
But, one of my favorite people in the whole wide world ~
the one and only MISS AMERICA
convinced me it was time to ink up one of these cuties and join my old teamies!!
It just so happens today is a fun BLOG HOP at the HM & Friends Monday Challenge Blog.
And the challenge is …
A Spooky Color Challenge ~
Orange, Purple, Lime Green and Black
If you’ve come here today via the truly AWESOME Lorraine Aquilina’s blog (aka LOLS), you’re at the right place! If you’ve just happened stopped by today to visit, I highly suggest you take some time to enjoy the start of your day and pop over to the House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge blog for all the details.
I was super excited to find this lonely piece of scrap paper I had in my scrap bin with the EXACT colors needed for today’s challenge. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no idea the name!
I do know that the stamp I’ve used is called Dino Treats.
These cuties were colored with Copics, of course … with a little added SMOOCH paint in green (to the dinosaur costume)
and a little orange to the pumpkin treat holder.
AND, I’ve followed my all-time favorite sketch challenge blog for this layout …
The deconstructed Sketch No. 74:
Your next stop on this fun blog hop is Natascha Banning’s always inspiring blog.
