How about a relaxing little card for today!! The challenge at House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge is to make a black and white card. Oh, how I really wanted to put a big old dollop of red (or yellow, green, purple...) on here but a challenge is a challenge...right!
I used some Paper Studio and Echo Park DP on this card. The black and white diamond patterned paper reminds me of a bathroom tile floor.....um...oh, well........I added some Stickles to some of the bubbles and lightly tinted this little guys (or gals) fur. Weird thing about the Stickles I added.....it actually has blue flecks in it yet in the picture they appear brownish. Strange! The sentiment is from MFP. The sketch I used - and you'll be seeing a lot more of this since I LOVE it is from Deconstructed Sketches and I'll also enter this in their challenge.
Thanks for stopping by.....and have a very relaxing day........

Awwww, this is adorable, Lynn!!!! Your little HM looks sooo relaxed with all those bubbles!! Ya did good with the colors and papers, too!!!!
I adore this card, Lynn, and you did such a great job with the sketch! Great paper choices. I HAVE that diamond pattern tile in my bathroom right now! Perfect in an old Victorian house. :-D Tell me, did the bunny mind being told he's a Mouse? I understand all the bunnies and Gruffies are considering a strike because they want the "House Mouse" named changed. Good luck with that one, critters! LOL
This is awesome Lynn!! Adorable image and awesome B&W papers!

This is black and white wonderland! I LOVE the papers and your little soaking mouse is fantastic! The shimmery bubbles were a wonderful touch! I've had the same issues with stickles. They seem to reflect the colors around them, making a whole new color! This is a fantastic layout !

You did a great job on this challenge. I would've wanted to add a splash of color, I guess that's why it's called a challenge. :) I love the bubbles.
Lynn, this is oh so cute. This bunny knows how to relax! One of my fav stamps. Beautiful mix of papers, perfect for our black and white challenge. Thanks for joining us at House Mouse and Friends Monday. Big Blog Hop next week.
