A busy time here in the House of Hearts .. .. .. and the day has just whizzed by.
Quite a few makes under my belt today and this is the one I have chosen to share
along with a close up view of the image
.JPG)
This used
Image: Stampabilities "HMPR1003" Close Knit Family
Backing Papers: Pink Petticoat
ProMarkers
Diamond Stickles
Wool, button and brad from the stash box
I got this image a few weeks ago from our local craft shop in a sale. There is however a bit of a strange part on the stamp and I think I need to get my scalpel out to it. Around the tail of the mouse on the extreme right is a little bit of extra rubber which looks like it should be there when you look at the stamp .. .. but now printed looks very strange!!! Will have to do something about that!! I didn't notice until I was three quarters of the way through the colouring.
Just a quick post today because I have had a telephone conversation from a customer who has been looking through my blog to try and find an image/card they would like me to use on a special card they have ordered.
It was suggested by the customer that I "forget the cards" and instead go in the direction of "professional speech writing" !!! Apparently I "don't half ramble on"!!! And of course the customer is always right.
Think I might stick to the cards though !!
Have a good evening.
Love Jules xx
P.S. My Tattered Florals Die hasn't arrived yet :-( .. .. .. perhaps the postlady will be my best friend tomorrow!!! :-)

Hi there Jules, I love House Mouse they are so much fun and I'm loving how you've used this stamp, great colours. I can see what you mean about the extras, I think you may be right, a sharp scalpel will sort that:D xxx
how gorgeous is this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! firstly Love your colouring, and the wool you have added to the card is the perfect finishing touch! utterly gorgeous- LOVE IT!! Hugs Juls
Gorgeous card, Jules! I thought that was real wool on the picture for a minute! Excellent colouring. You make beautiful cards, are very eloquent and, I think a paragon of tact and diplomacy by the sound of it! I'm not sure I would've been so good! Hope your dies arrive tomorrow x
First of all Jules I love your ramblings :-)your so funny sometimes lol. As for you card it's beautiful even with that bit on the tail, I would never have noticed unless you had mentioned it, love the colours.
Hugs Linda

Hi Jules, fab card, the colouring is beautiful, & I adore the image, wouldn't have noticed the fault if you hadn't pointed it out.
Hugz fleur xXx
Aw Jules, what a fab image inspite of the 'iffy' bit. I absolutely adore little mice so this pushes all the right buttons for me as these are sooooo cute! It is an excellent image though because those balls of wool look 3D and poor Mum, doesn't she look harassed? Thanks for choosing this one to post.
Hugs
