The "B's" have it!!

Mudpie Skating



  I love the Ballet Blue color paper. (Stampin' Up)  It is so bright but not brash like neon can be.  The challenge for House Mouse this time is "B".  Whatever you make on the card is acceptable as long as it has the letter  "B" represented.

  The stamp is colored watercolor pencils and gel pens.  The house mouse stamp is call Joyous Noel featuring Mudpie and cut out to fit the die cut shapes -- Nestibilities Labels 8.

  For the trees I stamped and cut them from a Stampin' Up set called It's Snow Time.  Lace and bling and blue ribbon from my shoe box stash and Mudpie and I are ready to go!!

 Ballet Blue, Bows, Banner, Bell and Bling


   The bow is made with the ribbon with bendable edges and I love it.  Whoever invented that - thank you.
   I would imagine that most of you are aware of the simple bow trick of instead of knotting, try tying thread around the middle and then cover the thread up with something like a button or bling.  It makes a clean middle and it is a lot less frustrating to get it to look good.
