I fell in love with this wonderful stamp by Ellen Jareckie. Her little House Mouse is waving a magic wand, creating all sorts of wonderful things. Perfect, don't you agree, for celebrating the New Year? I've combined the stamped image with a fun starburst stencil. All I had to do was mask the little mouse to protect it from the colours of the starburst and go crazy with my blending brush and colours. I love the results, don't you?
After removing the mask, I used my Derwent pencils and Gamblin Solvent-Free Fluid to colour my image. I love how well the colours blend using that technique. Finally, after mounting the finished image to a Basic Gray matte and a base of Whisper White, I added some Art Glitter glue to the magical lines created by the wands and then added some crystal sparkles. The finished effect is like a thousand tiny rainbows. I wish the camera had caught it like my eyes are able to.
I'm linking this card up to the House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge #330 - Sparkle and Shine.
A thousand tiny rainbows sounds good to me and I really like your house mouse card.
