February is here...that means multitudes of chocolaty goodness is in my near future. My hubby and I have been SO GOOD in years past about NOT getting each other boxes of chocolate. But, this year...I WANT CHOCOLATE.
No jewelry.
No flowers.
No fancy cars or yachts.
No cutesy stuffed animals.
No serenading gondoliers.
I. Just. Want. Chocolate.
I guess I better get my husband to read this post, huh?
It's time for a new challenge over at House Mouse & Friends. This time around it's all about LoVe! The theme is "Love is all Around".
I was in a goofy mood when I made my project for this challenge. Originally, I had selected this image for our LAST challenge (the Zodiac one--it was gonna be for Pisces)...but due to health issues, it sat uncolored for weeks. I finally colored it up and decided I could adapt it to our current LoVe challenge. All I did was come up with a sappy sentiment and slapped a heart on it.
It works.
This card also brings to mind a proverb-like saying..."A mouse could love a fish, but where would they live?" But I didn't feel like going all Confucius-y.
The sentiment inside reads "You're strange, and I'm wonderful". Yeah, I was in one of "those" moods. I colored the image with my Prismacolor pencils, and paper-toled the mouse so that it's 3-D.

ReplyDeleteLove this stamp and you colored it up beautifully. Gorgeous colors. The placement of the buttons looks nice too. What a fun card, and the sentiment fits perfectly with the image.

Love, love, love this card and the rich colors you used. Your sentiment made me giggle because my husband and I use that phrase all the time. Most of all, I'm so glad that you are feeling better enough to play again. BTW, if you want to help hubby out with the Valentines purchases, Amazon has a wonderful Gourmet Candy section. :D
