Hello! I am excited to bring you my first of two posts today. This post is for the House Mouse & Friends Blog Hop. My second will be for Aurora Wings. You can click HERE to see that post. But don’t leave yet! Read to the bottom of my post to find out how you can have a shot at winningMy House Mouse project features the adorable Nurse Mouse stamp. My full instructions and supply list is below.
Supplies:
Stampendous:
HMP62: Nurse Mouse
DWLX7026: Chevron Stencil
STF082: VersaFine Onyx Black Ink
Others:
My Colors Cardstock: Ocean Side
Zig Clean Color Markers: 010, 020, 024, 028, 029, 050, 052, 064, 065, 069, 071, 072, 090, 091, 092, 094, 095, 096, 098, 222, 260, 302, 900, 901, 902
Imagine: Silver irRESISTable Pico Embellisher, StazOn White Opaque, Sponge Dauber
Canson Mixed Media Cardstock
Ranger: Water Brush
Beacon Adhesives: Zip Dry Glue
Red Cardstock: unknown
Directions:
1. Stamp the image with VersaFine on to Mixed Media paper. This paper holds water well, so since I used a water brush for parts of the image, I decided to use this brand. Color the image using the markers listed above. I used the water brush for blending out the shadows, and the stethoscope. Crop the image down and set aside.
2. Make a mat for the image using Ocean Side cardstock. Attach to the image using Zip Dry glue.
3. Create the card base out of a Chinese Red cardstock to the size of 5 1/2″ x 8.” Tape the Chevron stencil on top of the base and apply StazOn White Opaque using a sponge dauber. I use an old dauber that is just for StazOn, as it’s hard to clean up after using solvent ink on it. I didn’t want a perfectly stenciled image. I went for a softer look for this card.
4. Attach the image and mat to the card base using Zip Dry. Add a few dots on the lower left and upper right corners using Silver irRESISTable Pico Embellisher.
This was such a fun stamp to color. I really liked coloring the stethoscope. Now, since you’ve gotten down here, how about a chance to win this sweet Nurse Mouse stamp?

This is so adorable, Alison, thanks so much for sharing with us and making this darling card! We really appreciate the effort you put into each creation.
I color with Copics, generally. I am trying colored pencils, but they don't look great when I use them…I need to learn. I LOVE that little scene of the medical mice 🙂
I've been using the Zig markers
for my coloring but I've gotten
into pencils and really like
them. Don't have to worry
about burps. Love the
medical mice – have several
friends who will enjoy a card
with them. thanks for
sharing.

I love that image. I had not seen it before and it looks like maybe mousie ate too much chocolate LOL. The blue frame against the
red background paper sets that image off so wonderfully. Love it.

This is a beautiful card and I am in awe of your coloring skills! I am a beginner when it comes to coloring but am trying to learn how to use alcohol markers, although I usually use dye markers for my images.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful card! I have never used the Zig markers but your results are spectacular! I would use my Spectrum Noir alcohol inks to color this stamp if I had it.
